Molino Homemakers: Needlework Project

The ladies of the Molino Homemakers club will spend the next several months working on a needlework project in hopes of capturing a top prize at this fall’s Pensacola Interstate Fair.

This month’s main topic was our Fair Booth project. Each year the Molino Homemakers vote on a project to enter at the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds 4-H building. This would be a hand needlework project. Hand needlework includes, sewing quilts, knitting, crocheting and cross stitching. Several members take on a project and work on it during the next few months.

In October when the items are completed, they are strategically placed in the fair booth as to draw attention especially to the judges for a good score. A good score means a ribbon and money for the club when it places in the top three. The Molino Homemakers have been entering the fair as long as they can remember and enjoy showing off their beautiful handiwork.

Several members bring items they have been working on throughout the month and share during show and tell. Becky Dortch showed a beautiful throw she had been working on. The stitching was done by machine. She hopes to have it finished in the near future.

Dot Halstead’s cross stitched “Brave Night” took about 4 weeks to complete. She tries to complete one every month and has completed four this year.
Nancy Holland showed a Monkey quilt she had been working on and plans to have it completed soon.

The Molino Homemakers meet at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month in the fellowship hall of Molino First Assembly of God Church. Visitors are welcome.
