Meeting #2, Presenting Our Concepts

Meeting #2, October 21, 2012

  • Killingworth’s own award-winning and master quilter Sandy Smith, a member of the Killingworth Historical Society was our guest today.  She shared her historical dolls and provided us with information about each woman in respect to Killingworth’s history.   She also brought along some of her masterpieces and talked with us about various techniques, fabric choices, proper thread, and appropriate needle selection.  Her dolls are incredible and her quilts are breathtaking.  We were truly blessed that she joined us today and invite her to come again to see how we are progressing.  Thank you Sandy!
  • Each girl and adult on the GIRLtopia team shared her concept and initial sketch (if available) with the group.  Sandy Smith listened attentively to each girl, encouraged everyone to stay true to their concept, and made suggestions when asked.
  • We also watched a short video about children living in the garbage dump of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  Why?  While the girls can relate to other girls in the United States, we are exposing them to the pros and cons of living in other countries, cultures, and governments.
