The local quilt group of Mesa Dunes always makes 40 quilts a year for the Royal Purple who give them to foster children with disabilities. I joined the group today and was able to sew together one quilt top consisting of blocks in a 10 X 8 grouping.
The quilt group is a real bee hive of activity. Some people sew tops, some iron, some tie and pin quilts for binding, and then some people sew the binding on.
Someone has created an adaptation to raise the tables to counter top height for some of the jobs using PVC piping to add to the bottom of the legs Very creative, inexpensive and does the trick. Marvelous idea!

Tying the quilt with yarn. They use large needles and pliers to pull the needle out as it can be very tough to get through all the layers of fabrics and batting.

The ladies work on the finished quilt top on a raised table at counter top height.
Pinning the binding over so that it can be sewn by sewing machine, making for a stronger join.
My rows are completed in this photo. Then I joined the rows to finish the quilt top.
