September 7, 2010 Guild Program
It is Appleseeds’ 17th birthday! We will celebrate with birthday cake for all. The evening also includes a “Bed Turning” featuring Lois Fegleys’ quilts. Nancy Gipson, daughter of Lois will assist her in the stories about her quilts on the bed. Lois was the featured quilter at the 2008 Berne Quilt Show and is guest speaker at the Maumee Valley 24th Annual Quilt Show, August 19-22, New Haven, IN. She was also a prize winner in the last Appleseed Quilters Show in 2008.We will also have a slide show of the presentation of the 127 kid’s quilts at Camp Watcha-Wanna-Do. When we’re able to see which child receives a quilt that we made, it is a really special feeling and makes the giving of these quilts so worth while. Thanks to Dawn Shepherd and her committee for providing this heart warming part of our evening.
