Quilting Demonstrated At Library
Dog Days
By Zola Samples
A i'Friendship Quilt" is shown for the children. This particular quilt
was sewn together by ladies of the First Baptist Church Women's Mis-
sionary Union (WMU). The quilt celebrates 100 years of WMU.
A "Friendship Quilt" gets its name from work of friends gathering
t ogether to work on one quilt. ~,eh lady in the WMU pieced their own
square into the quilt. This practice, according to Perkins, dates back to

quilt while the men would go into the fields and work
Brenda Perkins prepares to demonstrate a lap hoop to the children. The
lap hoop is used to sew a particular portion of the quilt in the lap of the
quilter. Quilting has been around since before the birth of Christ. At that
time the quilter would use grass, wool, or straw in their quilts.
