Quilting Friends,
(click to enlarge image)
I finished this sweet little butterfly quilt this weekend, trying out a Villa Rosa pattern for a new class.
Do you know any other contacts in California for distribution of quilts to fire victims? Charity quilters want to know! Please send me an email if you have any leads.
Finally, you may not know that the Calendar page on the website is a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.

CONGRATULATIONS
Ellen Lindner’s quilt, “Jubilation,” was recently included in an all-media exhibit, called Art in Bloom, in Flat Rock, NC. Local florists and gardeners created floral arrangements to go with each piece, and Ellen’s was made by none other than quilt icon, Georgia Bonesteel. Ellen was delighted!
