Our surprise visitor, 14 year old Andrew, and yes, he made this Lone Star quilt! Click on the pictures to enlarge.
Renee’ joined us for the first time at the November Sew-in. Little did I know that her lanky 14 year old son who helped carry in her machine and considerable stash was not only a wrestler and baseball player, but also AN ACCOMPLISHED QUILTER! At the ripe old age of 13, he completed his fourth quilt--a full-sized Lone Star—a pattern which is a pretty good challenge to even an experienced adult quilter. Andrew is a member of the Young Piecemakers Quilt Guild in Corona, a non-profit group for children ages 5 to 18, which not only promotes the art of quiltmaking, but fosters charitable giving as well. At our Show and Tell and sharing time, Renee’ wowed us with several beautiful quilts, all made by the kids in the guild. The guild membership is free, and all the materials, as well as the long-arm quilting, are donated. You can visit their web site at www.ypqg.org to see more, or contact the Young Piecemakers Quilt Guild at P.O. Box 77113, Corona, CA 92877, (951) 277-4577 or [email protected] if you have materials to donate to this great group—this is our future, and it is in good hands! |
