Spring in the Catskills

Spring has arrived though she is making a timid appearance on the mountain top. Spring finds Peggy traveling in Austria. Can't wait to hear about all her adventures when she returns. Doris has donated a quilt to the Patchworkers and this quilt top will be put on the frame to be tied as soon as the raffle quilt is complete.
Hope everyone is busy making quilts to hang proudly at this years show! Some members are making items for the silent auction using the fabric donated to us by Cranston Fabrics .Carolyn make a wonderful tote bag and Clara an adorable doll quilt and pillow. The fabric line is the collection by Artist, Parvaneh Holloway. It features her namesake, the butterfly. The butterflies adorn images of perfume bottles, enameled pens and enameled egg sculptures. Very pretty fabrics.
Not mentioned before are the recipients of the raffle quilt proceeds. They are the D.R. Ervants Library of Athens and the Mountaintop Animal Friends.

Happy Spring Everyone!
