The Garden Angel Quilt is now finished and was unveiled last weekend at the KYRU. There are several threads floating around with bits and pieces of information, so I'm putting everything on one thread to make things easier.

Last Spring, member LimeyLisa suggested that a quilt to benefit the Garden Angel Fund might be a great project for some of us to do. She worked up a design, and I went and bought fabric. Quilters signed on and we had ourselves a project.

For those who are not familiar with the Garden Angel Fund, it's a special account set up to pay for subscription of members in need, or for our international friends who might find the rate of exchange too steep to afford. There have been projects to raise money for this fund, most recently was Ursula's gift of seeds from Chile for GA donations.

The quilters were given 4 pieces of fabric and everyone created a floral quilt block. These were sent to LimeyLisa who constructed the quilt top and sent it to KY, where YoYo1 quilted it. We had originally decided to machine quilt it, but when she saw this beautiful labor of love, she knew that it deserved hand quilting.

The quilters involved were
LimeyLisa
Melody
Kathleen
Hostanquilts
YoYo1
Elsie
Heather_v

Tickets are
5.00 for 1
20.00 for 5
50.00 for 12

Dave will be along to answer any questions that I can't.

Here's a picture of the quilt.
