The
Apple Blossom Appliquérs of New Minas, Nova Scotia Stitch Through the Winter
and Spring Ruth Peskett and the ladies in their chapter wanted to share a
photo of a baby quilt they made during the Winter and Spring. Ruth writes:
“The Apple Blossom appliquérs of New Minas, Nova Scotia, really enjoyed
getting together to make this cheery baby quilt for the annual Victorian
Order of Nurses Quilt Auction. It was such a success that another one is
planned for next year’s auction!”
The Des Moines Area (Iowa) Appliqué Society membership created blocks, constructed a quilt top and donated it to the 2004 6th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Auction held by the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild. Total receipts for the evening auction was $16,000. Congratulations to all the talented members of this TAS Chapter
The Maryland Chapter "On Pins and Needles" shares this photo from their October meeting.
Anne writes, " Since we meet on the 4th Thursday of every month, there are no meetings in November and December because of the holidays. We therefore have a party in October. The picture shows the finished quilt from our raffle 2 years ago. Everybody who contributed Halloween-themed squares received as many chances as they entered squares. We then picked one member's name out of a basket and she got to take all the squares home. She had the squares put together a year ago, but the top still needed to be quilted. I'm very grateful to be the leader of such a fun group. Camaraderie is as important as exchanging tips, learning skills or sharing favorite books and magazines. Submitted by Anne Wilson

P.S. I'm the one on the left in the front row, with the dark long hair. Emily is the quilt owner, she's holding it and has a blue sweater on. Kim Engelke, who founded the chapter is the one behind the quilt, wearing glasses.
