So, this just happened! Veterans quilt news

First, I want to let you know that these 2 quilts are ready for pick up at Vicki's house or at the next meeting or sewing days.

...and the display at the Montpelier Center has been changed 

This quilt was made by Margaret Griffiths

Now for a story and the big news.

I (Vicki) make sample quilts for Paula Nadelstern's line of symmetry fabrics for Benartex. Each year when we send in the new quilts they send back the quilts from the previous year. Sadly, one of the 2019 quilts that I made has disappeared. It was cat themed so I think we can guess what happened. Benartex offered to compensate me in some way and I suggested some patriotic fabric for our veterans quilt project. Today I received 13 BOLTS (130 YARDS) of fabric! 

The fabric is from a line called Red White and True and they sent a 10 yard bolt of each of the 13 fabrics in the collection. This image only shows 9. There are 4 more. The fabrics are all busy prints so they will probably benefit from some solids (white, black, red, blues) mixed in. 

I have these and are ready to cut fabric for anyone who wants some. You can email or call me and let me know how much you want. I'll also bring some to sewing days and the next meeting. 

My estimate says that we can get about 30 quilts from this donated fabric!  What a treat to get donated fabric that isn't 20 years old.
