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.
Off in a comer of the school’s
stage was a tno demonstrating a
different type of needlecraft, rug
hooking.

Quilting
undergoing a new resurgence of
interest from needleworkers.
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. The quilt
drawing is an on-going cooperative
effort between the semor citizens
and the Historical Society, to help
raise monies for the restoration of

Drawing of the quilt winner is a
highlight of the Historical Society's
annual Colonial days, hosted in the
town each September, and
bringing up to 20,000 visitors mto
East Berlin to share in the unique
rural heritage of this history-proud
town that joins York and Adams
Counties.
