At first glance, that may not be obvious. Gathered in the basement of Joyce Schrepel s home, the women of West Center Baptist s quilting group are not only engaged in quilt making but also in conversation and laughter. It s a sweatshop, Mary Kenyon quipped, turning from the iron she was using to press stitched quilt blocks. Others laughed.
Around the basement, eight women worked on quilts in different stages of completion. Several pinned quilt tops to batting and backing at one table. At another, quilt blocks were being cut using a straight-edge and rotary cutter.
