I have been a member of the
American Quilt Study Group since 1985. One of the great perks of membership is
the newsletter, “Blanket Statements”. Back in early October, Hallie Bond
announced that they would be doing a special edition featuring stories in "times
of illness and stress". I sent her a link to my final post about “our” Community
Supper quilt (here) and it was chosen for publication. This quilt belongs to all 79 of you who
participated!
To get your own copy and to find
out more about this wonderful organization, visit the website of the American Quilt Study Group (here).
In the event that I can enter
this quilt in any future exhibits pertaining to these Covid times, I will be
sure to post it for all to enjoy. Thanks to all of you who joined me in this
crazy quilt.
I hoping for healthier,
calmer, and kinder days ahead.
Congratulations! Can't wait to read it!
