CALM- Celebration and Loving Memory Quilt Project

Posted on

The Greater Newburyport Ovarian Cancer [GNOCA] group is organizing the creation of a quilt to celabrate a survivor or to memorialize a loved one who has been lost to ovarian cancer.

The center square has been designed and executed.

The size of each block should be 12 1/2 inches.

 

Please contact Cathy Crawford if you are interested in contributing to the project: 978-363-5406 or cathycraw@comcast.net.

 

The CALM quilt is not intended to be a perfect quilt, but a dynamic ode to resilience, survival, hope, courage and a final cure.

Storybook Quilts Being Enjoyed

Storybook Quilts Being Enjoyed

 

Four elementary schools out in Shrewsbury Mass are enjoying our Storybook Quilts for a month. One school had them for one week last year and the word got out. The librarian’s, art teachers and classrooms teachers are thrilled to be using them in their curriculum. So talk to your children, grandchildren, local schools and libraries. These are great treasures we have made and own, and a wonderful way to pass the world of quilting on to our future generations. Pictured is second grader Emily Beers, granddaughter of Gail Wozniak.

FORMER LONGTIME MEMBER PASSES AWAY

We have learned of the death of Virginia Borden of Haverhill who was a member of the guild for many many years. Those who went on the bus trips knew Ginny was a regular on the bus each year and so looked forward to that trip as she said she never got to many quilt shops other than on the bus.
