FAWCO blocks
Every year the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas (FAWCO) makes a quilt that is auctioned off for charity. The local Women's Clubs provide the blocks. Here are the blocks my club has sent in.![]() 2007 In 2007 the theme was "Land of Morning Calm," in honor of the FAWCO regional meeting held in Korea. This time we were to send in a separate "siggie" block. Mine has the AWC logo above my own logo. |
![]() 2006 In 2006 we were to make "something to make me laugh" and use the color red. I made a Bow Tie block which makes me think of a clown. |
![]() ![]() 2005 "A Friend is a Gift You Give Yourself" was the theme for 2005. This time there were other members of the club who also contributed blocks. |
![]() 2004 "How does your FAWCO garden grow?" was this year's theme. I pieced a flower. |
![]() 2003 The theme for this year was Sunbonnet Sue. I made our Sue stealing a Swedish flag in order to wrap it strategically over the statue of Poseidon in downtown Gothenburg. |
2002 This quilt was themed "Let the Sun Shine In." We just needed to include the color yellow. I made a Log Cabin block that reminds me of a bright sunrise. |
![]() 1999 This year the theme was "America the Beautiful" and I made an appliqué of my own design. My inspiration was the text to the song: the purple mountains' majesty and the amber waves of grain. |
![]() 1997 This year the theme was "Piece and Partnership" and I made the Martha Washington Star. (This picture is a reconstruction. The fabrics are authentic, but the placing might be wrong.) |
