Wow! What a Show
We did it! The Quilt Show was terrific! Karen Malio and her minions came through and produced a very professional exhibition of the works of an extremely talented group of women who make up the Merrimack Valley Quilting Guild.
From the Rust exhibit to the Round Robin, from Terry Gelinas and her beautiful quilting to Angie hawking the White Elephant Table goodies, from Best in Show to Judge’s Choice, we should all be proud of what we accomplished.
Thanks to all who gave their efforts to make this a successful show!
Mystery Bus Trip Memories
As seen in these two photos folks on the bus trip had a great time. We went to Maine this year to Cottonweeds in Freeport, Alewives in Nobleboro and Main-ly Sewing also in Nobleboro.
If your travels take you nearby these shops, stop in, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Hope you will join us next year on our spring mystery bus trip.

CALM- Celebration and Loving Memory Quilt Project
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.
