Quilt Show Chair Jackie Somerville, left, and
Heart in Hand Quilt Guild President Sylvia
LaFalce, right, pose in front of quilts on exhibit at
the Bowen Center for the Arts.
FROM 1A
Quilt
placing a quilt in the
show is that the quilts
have not been shown at
the Bowen before.
Some of the quilts take
a year or longer to make,
while others come togeth
er more quickly.
From deciding on the
idea or pattern to sourc
ing the fabric to cutting,
sewing, pressing, quilting
and binding, quilting can
take a lot of time and
money.
“It’s quite a hobby, and
it’s expensive,”
Somerville said. “In
grandma’s day they used
their worn out clothing,
grandpa’s pants or some
thing, now we go buy it.”
Looking around at the
tags on the quilts, which
have photos of the mem
ber that made them as
well as other information
about the quilt, it’s sur
prising that only two of
the quilts are for sale.
“We make them for our
families and kids and
stuff, there’s not many
that make them to sell,”
Somerville said.
Guild President Sylvia
LaFalce said that recoup
ing the time and energy
put into a quilt makes
them hard to sell.
“The issue with selling a
quilt is if you really get
the value of a quilt con
sidering the work time
quilting it...one quilt is
$1,200 and that is a valid
price for that size a quilt,”
LaFalce said. “You have
to do it for your enjoy
ment.”
Visitors to the show
will vote for their favorite
and the one with the most
votes at the end of the
show will win the view
er’s choice award.
The guild is also raf
fling off a quilt that many
members were able to
work on. Proceeds will be
donated to the Bowen.
“We try to pick a quilt
that can be broken down
into blocks that people
can work on, and this
quilt did give us that
opportunity,” LaFalce
said.
The winner will be
drawn Dec. 12.
The guild meets at the
Bowen the second
Tuesday of every month,
not necessarily to quilt
but to participate in pro
grams and learn from
speakers.
The guild also takes
part in projects through
out the year, like the mys
tery quilt project that sup
plied many of the quilts
in the show.
“They get a pattern but
they don’t know what
they’re making,”
Somerville said. “So they
start by cutting, they buy
their fabric and they cut,
and then the next month
they get a clue that says
‘sew them together like
this’ and they don’t know
what they’re doing until
it’s done.”
Another challenge proj
ect was the Americana
project, where the quilts
had to be less than 40
inches wide.
“We try to get these
quilts to fit between these
windows for the quilt
show so we had to limit
the size of that one,”
Somerville said.
Each year the guild
does a retreat where they,
as LaFalce put it, quilt,
sleep and eat. The next
retreat will be over four
days in February at
Amicalola Falls.
“Some ladies partici
pate in nothing, but they
love to come and they
like to learn new things,
we learn lots of things
from each other especial
ly,” Somerville said.
Somerville joined the
guild in 2008, having
learned to quilt in 1998
after moving to Cape Cod
from Omaha, Neb. when
her husband retired from
the military.
“I had no job for the
first time ever so I went
and took at class at a
quilting shop,”
Somerville said. “My
grandmother had tried to
teach me when I was a
little girl and she taught
me to love the quilts, so I
learned the modem meth
ods, there are many new
tools and gadgets to
speed things up, and of
course all kinds of amaz
ing sewing machines. I
learned and I’ve enjoyed
it and I met so many
lovely people.”
LaFalce joined the
guild in 2015 and has
been quilting for about 30
years.
“I used to sew clothing,
including my husband’s
suits, so sewing was not
the problem but the tech
nique,” she said. “The
hardest thing about quilt
ing is the quarter of an
inch seam. First of all it’s
small, but if you don’t
sew it accurately, your
block won’t fit together.”
Blocks are the larger
components that get put
together to finish a quilt,
which are symbolic of the
group effort that it takes
to make the quilt show a
success.
The guild meets at 6:30
p.m. the second Tuesday
of each month at the
Bowen.
The Bowen is located
at 334 Hwy. 9 North next
to Lanier Tech. Hours are
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tuesday through Friday
and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturdays. Admission is
free.
