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!
