Mary
Ann's Tropical Paradise
Paradise!
It's here! The tropical paradise we've all been looking forward was
presented at the October 11th General Meeting. The thank you quilt
for our 2000-2001 President, Mary Ann Skinner, is
finished and what a paradise it is! The individual blocks that were
created by all Beach Cities Quilters membership are so beautiful,
fun, crazy, detailed and full of creativity! It's wonderful!
Tremendous thanks are in order not only to all the guild members for
creating their individual memory blocks and signature bricks but
especially for those members who added their time, talent and
organizational skills to complete this corner of paradise.
Our sincere appreciation to
Pat Pardoen, Diane Collins and Maggie Ezell for their imagination in
getting the quilt off to a great start with their ideas and visions.
Then came the assembly
committee of at least 15 people who met and designed and put together
the quilt top. A big thanks to Leah's for the use of their classroom for
several days during the assembly process and for donating the batting,
and to Karen Kowalchuk who chaired the basting committee. To Carolyn
Pierce, Elaine Pappas-Puckett, Mary Freedman, Kris Kouzelos and Janice
Elliott who held quilting bees in their homes with Pat Pardoen
coordinating them thank you so much!
