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!
