Miss Penelope Pincushion surprised us with another 

fun and informative interview session with two of our members,

Bettie Davidson and Bettie Ruth Baughman,

at our annual picnic

 

February's project will bring special comfort to those who

 receive these wonderful pillows!

Joyce Perkins' showed everyone how to make this

wonderful dog bone pillow and they went together

much quicker than you would think! Here are some of the members and their pillows.  Look at all those fun fabrics!

Snow camp held true to it's name this year! 

With a dusting of snow and below freezing temperatures,

it was the perfect time to gather with friends and QUILT!

Introducing Miss Penelope Pincushion 
of WHQ News

Miss Penelope will be doing interviews with various members of Wolf Hills Quilters throughout the coming year.  At our December meeting, Connie Waters and Mary Lou Combs were chosen to be interviewed in relation to their quilting journey.  Be on the lookout, you could be next, so be prepared!

 

What a gorgeous quilt!

Marty Gail made this for the group to present to

The Children's Advocacy Center

in honor of their 20th anniversary. 

Several members attended the re-dedication ceremony

 along with local supporters and state representatives.

 

 

 

Almost ready to go!  This year, Jean Condon headed up the group working on the

Virginia Tech Bow Tie Quilt.  Many generous hands worked on the pieces to

 create this handsome quilt, Kim Ashley graciously quilted it, and now it is set to be bound. 

 

Here's a little more about the special meaning behind this project:

The project funds a Virginia Tech scholarship in honor of Clay Copeland

 from Abingdon, Virginia.  This VT student died unexpectedly a few years ago.  

His mom started The Bow Tie Classic to raise money for VT scholarships

for incoming students…a very worthy cause!  She organizes a huge event called

 the “Bow Tie Classic” because her son loved bow ties.  It is a weekend event

 with an award winning golf tournament and banquet.  A highlight is a silent auction

 with really huge prizes, like Race tickets, football tickets, all kinds of VT things,

 and…of course, a bow tie quilt!

Meet and greet with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company.

A once-in-a-lifetime trip for many. 

So much to see, so many new ideas!!
