What do double wedding rings, log cabins, monkey wrenches, crazy eights and folded stars have in common?<\/p>\n

Members of the Reverse Curves Quilt Club can tell you they are all names of quilt patterns.<\/p>\n

On the 1st Tuesday from 10:00-2:– at the Presbyterian Church in Ontario, you will find members busy quilting. These are the “day quilters”. The “Evening Quilters” meet at 7:00 P.M. on the 3rd Monday of the month in each other\u2019s homes.<\/p>\n

Rita Goebert (597-5365) is the Secretary for the Reverse Curves. She puts out a newsletter to keep the quilters in touch with each other.<\/p>\n

In 1973, several women persuaded Gwyn Bassage to share her knowledge and expertise about quilting. The “Quilting Bee” was revived!<\/p>\n

They hoped to use the second floor of the former Walworth-Seely Library building as a meeting place. They made a quilt as a raffle item. The nearly $1000 raised was used to purchase carpeting and shelving.<\/p>\n

Fired Code Regulations prevented them from using the upstairs, though. At that time, there was no fire escape.<\/p>\n

An Historic Quilt was made to raise money to honor the Walworth sesquicentennial (150 years). (My claim to fame is that I did the Old Cheese Factory in Lincoln! Someday I’ll tell you why I wrote my name so big. )\u00a0 The quilt now hangs in the Walworth Historical Museum.<\/p>\n

A Signature Quilt was started to raise funds for the Walworth Bi-centennial (200 years). People donate a dollar and sign their name on a block (square of fabric). Gwyn has finished one quilt. There are many more signature blocks to be stitched into another one or two quilts.<\/p>\n

Ethel Keeley (524-9073) had been quilting for “quite a few years” before she join the Reverse Curves. She attends the day-time meetings and looks forward to the friendship and sharing each month. She does everything by hand and wants to learn new patterns.<\/p>\n

As Donna Gould (524-9665) neared her retirement after 20 years of teaching at Sodus High School, she vowed to join the Reverse Curves. She retired in 1994 and made good on her vow.<\/p>\n

Donna likes to work only by hand and with cotton fabric. Her husband chose the Blue, mauve and Muslin color combination for the Double Wedding Ring quilt Donna is currently working on. She will teach other members how to hand stitch the Double Wedding Ring pattern during the April, 1996 meeting.<\/p>\n

In the coming year, members hope to finish another quilt to raise money for Habitat for Humanity and to donate several baby’s quilts to Faith Haven, as they did last year.<\/p>\n

New members are always welcome. You don’t need to be an expert to join. Their programs for the coming year include several demonstrations on hand and machine quilting, workshops to stitch on your own project and group projects that will be donated, a luncheon and a picnic.<\/p>\n
