Angee spent 4 days in Columbus Ohio , volunteering at the annual National Quilting Associations quilt show judging. She is a candidate in the NQA's Certified Judging program . While in Columbus, Angee met and spent a day with a gal she has been "chatting" with on line for the past 5 years. "I talked her into learning to quilt via the internet. Lou brought her family quilts that were made by grandmothers and great grandmothers and we had a wonderful show and tell. It was like we always knew each other and we are making plans for next year," says Angee.
Lou and her husband Matt are holding a very unusual quilt made with scraps from a pajama factory in Chicago .Circa early 1920s.
Marianne competed in the Empire State Senior Olympics in June 2006. She won 5 Gold medals and 2 Silver. Silver in the 5K run, and the 100 m dash. Gold medals in the 200 m, 400 m, Discus, Shot put and Javelin. The games were held in Cortland, NY. WAY TO GO MARIANNE!!
At the latest meeting we had Elly Wininger interviewing some of the Patchworkers for a radio quilting program she is putting together for Catskill Community Radio. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to hear the program. Elly has been interviewing many quilters that live in the Catskill Mountain region. Here are Pat and Betty being interviewed.
The Patchworkers have spent many meetings working on a special project. Mickey from Windham Fabrics has done so much for the group that we are making him and his family a tablerunner and six placemats using fabrics that his wife designed. The line is Farmhouse and the colors and patterns are just wonderful.
And here we find Clara diligently working on the placemats.
There is more but I will save that for next time.
HAPPY QUILTING!
