Quilting Program Presented at Hopewell Furnace

BY FRANCINE FULTON

While most people are familiar with quilts, which consists of fabric squares that are stitched together to create bedspreads or wall hangings, pieces of material can also be made into fabric yo-yos, which are pieces of fabric that are gathered around the edges and pulled together to create circular rosettes. The rosettes can be joined together to create items such as blankets, pillows, bracelets or wall art. A program about quilts and fabric

yo-yos was presented on Feb. 12 by the Friends of Hopewell Furnace in the visitor’s center at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in Elverson. Guest speakers were members of the Hopewell Quilters, a group of quilting enthusiasts who demonstrate quilting at the site on Fridays from May through October.

Becky Hughes led the program by explaining that a quilt includes three main parts - a top, backing and batting in between. Quilters make stitches that hold all three layers together. Most quilts are composed

of uniform fabric squares or patches.

“You can also have a quilt that is not a specific pattern, which is called a crazy quilt,” she noted.

Hughes referenced a quilt that is hanging on display in the visitor’s center that was created in 2021 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Hopewell Furnace. The quilt, which won a first-place prize at the Kimberton Fair, features photos of Hopewell’s historic buildings on fabric.

“There are many different types of quilts (like) the one we created for the anniversary of the park, which park volunteers signed,” she said, noting that the Hopewell Quilters make one quilt together each year. “The first quilt we made as a group was all hand done; none of that was machine pieced. We had visitors sign their names on it. It was designed to be put on the bed in the tenant house.”

While members of the group are quilting in the park, visitors are invited to make their own stitches

to share happiness with others by randomly hiding painted rocks throughout the area for people to discover. Those who find a rock may keep it or re-hide it, but the recipients are asked to post a photo of the found rock on the group’s Facebook page.

The effort began in 2017 after Gisone heard about a similar project from her cousin, who lives in California. “I started a Facebook group to encourage Chester County residents to impact their community by doing random acts of kindness, such as painting and dropping rocks to cheer up the recipient,” Gisone explained. “Amazing things (started) happening. In a little over a month, we hit 1,000 members. Now we are at 6,500 members. People find them and want to join because they feel such joy from it.”

Twin Valley Food Pantry Seeks Volunteers,

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Twin Valley Food Pantry (TVFP), which is located at Conestoga Mennonite Church, 2779 Main St. (Route 23), Morgantown, is in need of volunteers to work at the upcoming food distribution, to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 28. In addition, volunteers are needed to stock the pantry prior to the distribution.

Adult volunteers, as well as high school students, can also help stock the pantry on Wednesday, Feb. 22, beginning at 7 p.m. following the delivery of

Donations

food by Helping Harvest and the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. Volunteers will also sort and unload food items from local donations and food drives. Stocking volunteers will work for approximately two hours.

On distribution day, volunteers will meet at the church at 3 p.m. About 30 volunteers are needed for the evening for setup, distribution and cleanup. The work is usually completed at approximately 7 p.m. Volunteers may work the whole evening or volunteer as much time as they can.

Members of the Hopewell Quilters include (from left) Becky Hughes, Davida Walters, Beth Shugar, Lee Norman, Amanda Shugar and (not pictured) Eve Biamonte.

Fabric yo-yos can be stitched together to create wall art or decorative pillows.

Rocks can be painted with inspirational messages or honor a lost pet or loved one.

TVFP

Sarah Kolb, TVFP administrative assistant, explained that the distribution of food to clients begins at 5 p.m. “We have returned to our ‘client choice’ model, where individuals can come into the building and shop for groceries,” said Kolb, noting that a drive-up distribution was utilized during the pandemic.

According to the monthly food pantry newsletter distributed by Kolb, who is also the office administrator at Conestoga Mennonite Church, TVFP served 100 families in January, representing 458 people.

Kindness Rocks frompg 1

Gisone noted that Montgomery County was added to the group’s name to include rocks found in that area.

Those who paint and hide rocks are asked to include a message, either by creating a label or by writing on the back of the rock with a marker. The message states: “You found it! Keep it or hide it, but first post it to Kindness Rocks Chester and Montgomery County.”

Since the group’s formation, rocks have been placed and found throughout Chester and Montgomery counties at locations such as Kerr Park in Downingtown, the Parkesburg POINT youth center, St. Peter’s Village in Pottstown, the Brandywine Trail and convenience stores and other local businesses.

“Sometimes I will leave (rocks) outside a craft store or supermarket. I leave them at parks when I go for walks and outside libraries. Wherever I go, I carry them in my purse and leave one,” said Gisone, adding, “The first rock I ever found was at a Starbucks in Exton.”

In addition, rocks that originated locally have made their way to other states and even other countries. “People take them on vacation,” said Gisone, noting that painted rocks have been placed in Florida; Rehoboth Beach, Del.; and even Egypt.

Service

Kindness Rock gardens have also been established at local libraries and businesses. “People have rock gardens in their front yards. There was a chiropractor in Parkesburg that had one outside their business, and we had a Scout build a rock garden at Twin Valley High School, as part of her Eagle Scout Project,” Gisone noted.

Some rocks feature an image of a sports team or a favorite pet or loved one that someone has lost. “We have a woman who lost a baby, and she paints butterflies on rocks and leaves them everywhere. It can help people who have been hurt; it is an outlet for them and a way for them to (honor) the person’s memory,” Gisone said. “People have discovered that painting rocks is therapeutic and creates peace and joy in their lives.”

Gisone noted that the Facebook group continues to grow. “Every day there are random people posting,” she said. “(We are) a group of people who really believe and love the group and what it stands for. What we are doing matters.”

To learn more and to view or post photos of found rocks, join the “Kindness Rocks Chester and Montgomery County (KRCMC)” Facebook group.

on a practice piece of cloth. “Sometimes when we are quilting, visitors will come in and talk to us about their experiences with quilts. It is always fun to learn more,” said Beth Shugar, a member of the Hopewell Quilters. “I find (learning about) what their grandmother used as a quilting frame to be fascinating. Some of them had quilt frames that were on pulleys so they could be pulled up to the ceiling (when not in use). Some of them had a room that was dedicated to quilting. The ladies would come in and chat and have their own quilting time.”

Hughes concluded the program by having audience members make their own fabric yo-yos. “We will give you a needle and thread and a circle of fabric. You fold the fabric (around the perimeter) a quarter of an inch and then stitch around the edges. When you pull it, it will form the yo-yo,” Hughes said, adding that creating the yo-yos is a perfect way to use leftover scraps of material.

the TVFP - please consider joining us (in February).”

The pantry is also seeking financial contributions, as well as donations of food and other items. Items can be dropped off at the Conestoga Mennonite Church office on Tuesdays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Those who cannot drop off food donations at the designated times

The Friends of Hopewell Furnace meet on the second Sunday of the month at 2 p.m., with the exception of May, September and October. To learn more, visit www.facebook.com/ FriendsofHopewellfurnace.

emailing sarah.kolb.tvfp@gmail.com.

Items that are needed by the pantry include sugar, cereal, canned goods and instant mashed potatoes, as well as paper products, laundry detergent and dishwashing soap.

TVFP was formed in 1994 as an outreach ministry of the church. In March of 2021, the TVFP became registered as its own nonprofit organization governed by a community-based board of directors. The pantry primarily serves families in the Twin Valley School District. Since some of food supplies to the pantry come from state programs, clients must meet certain income guidelines.
