Patricia went on and on about StashFest, a fundraiser for the La Conner Quilt Museum. As the coordinator, she is working hard to coordinate many different parts—a bevy of fabric presenters, a Book Sale, a Flea Market and exciting quilting Experiences—all to sell at the two-day event.
Janet was well enough to join us! She has been home-bound for months and tonight she drove to the meeting. We were all thrilled to see her. In the last few months she bought a top-of-the-line Gammill long-arm and she has been quilting up a storm. Her very first quilt will be given to Plymouth House of Healing. She had a baby quilt with a top pieced by Jeanne and delightful butterfly stitching. Janet also had the batik quilt top from Maurine that she is thinking about how to quilt next.
Pris made a set of napkins and a table runner with a rooster theme as a Christmas gift. She is knitting a sweater and still finishing up the fabulous bird quilt for her niece in California—which she is hand-stitching five hours a day! She has two other quilts in the works—her YF quilt and one made with tiny squares adopted from Shannon’s friend.
Miriam brought a big bolt of fabric with red swirls on white—15 yards total—that she is prepared to share. She brought a fun baby quilt with cutesy jungle fabric. The big splash of the night were two blue jean quilts she produced for Patricia and Shannon—absolutely fab and fun!
Harriet gets the title of professional carpetbagger with her huge bag stuffed with quilts. She made two jazzy scrap quilts—one for a neice, the other for a nephew; a burgundy and green quilt for Plymouth House of Healing; a square-in-square quilt for Kristin Remole; and a quilt with outdoor scenes for another nephew. Whew!
