B4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 18,1983 Quitter Donna Grim demonstrated to visitors the technique of lap quilting. This recent twist to an old art allows the handwork to be carried along anywhere, freeing the crafts woman from sitting for hours at a bulky frame. (Continued from Page B 2) This younger quilt craftswoman says her taste runs toward the traditional creations, adding that she could just cry when she hears of the current high-fashion rage of cutting up antique quilts 10 sew one-of-a-kmd designer clothes. One of the most intriguing quilt patterns is the beautiful "cathedral window,” a lap-work type that can be fashioned in small squares and put together as the squares are completed. The finished styling frames hundreds of “squarish” pieces of colorful fabric within sort of circular frames fashioned from the solid color background. A local "cathedral window” expert is Amy Smith of New Ox ford, who's made 15 of the detailed designs of the past ten years, one queen-sized and several double bed widths. “Yellow muslin was a favorite background material when 1 started doing these ten years ago,” she explains while showing a pale, pastel yellow creation accented with small “chips” of bright flowered and patterned fabric pieces. Precision is paramount in this particular pattern, which requires anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 in dividual bits of fabric. Each section, according to a tabulation she kept one day while working on the quilts, is handled no less than 30 tunes from cutting until final inclusion in the overall work.

The hooking of wool rugs requires just a few bhsic materials; burlap backing, very narrow strips of new or recycled wool fabric, and a sort of fine, short, crochet hook set in a chunky, wooden handle. Some rug hookers, like Catharine Deitz, even dye their own material. Beginning with all white new wool fabric, Mrs. Deitz prepares a dye bath in each color planned for her finished rug design. She then dyes pieces of the white wool to varying shades of each color, finishing up with a total of eight graduated tones. By working the flowers, birds, leaves, geometric designs or whatever pattern she has chosen in those varymg shades of color, Mrs. Deitz lends a highly-professional artistic touch to her finished mg. After the coloring process, the dyed fabric is cut into strips 1/32- mch wide, using a special cutter designed solely for that purpose. When the material is ready for hooking through the burlap, it resembles yarn more than fabnc. One geometric design that Catharine Deitz had along for the quilt show display is the only mg for which she has ever kept track of the tune involved start to finish: 336 hours from coloring the wool to the last finishing loops. A beautiful dark-shaded quilt, made by the sponsoring semor citizens group, was on display by the East Berling Historical Society, with chances sold on the quilt as a fund-raiser for the preservation group.
