This summer Harriet attended a silk painting workshop led by Kristen Gilje in Leavenworth. She showed us four gorgeous silk scarves that she painted with different techniques.
Harriet also related an amazing discovery when visiting the Kenai Penninsula in Alaska. She, Robert and travel companions were directed to drive 11 miles out of town to find a quilt shop. There Harriet found a picturesque log cabin on a lake packed with wonderful goodies.
Miriam brought an important report with her: 10 Good Reasons for Buying Fabric. She has copies for others for the next meeting. More exciting, Miriam delivered a gorgeous quilt for Plymouth Healing Communities. Check: Number One out of four completed!
Pris camped on the Columbia River with her family in August and attended the Cathlamet Fair. She learned that the quilts she saw on display will be given to EMTs and highway patrol for accident victims. In that vein, she brought a colorful top for a Plymouth Healing Communities quilt. The colorful scrappy creation is titled "All God's Children." Check: Number Two out of four in progress.
Another great story from Pris concerned the contribution of two sewing machines from Flora. They were shipped to adults in need in Romania. Yeah Flora and Pris!
Janet finished up the Gees Bend top she received at the last meeting. She must have worked non-stop to produce this quilt. It will be given to a companion at Plymouth Healing Communities. Check: Number Three out of four complete.
For the last four months Patricia has been hand stitching a small baby quilt. She doodled on the black and white fabric with neon pens to add some color. It will be gifted to an ex-employee's two-month old daughter.
