Quilt Delivery Dates Announced, with 65,000 Thanks

Quilters Margaret Shelter and Alice Hill work at a festival quilting bee in July.

 Here’s a cheer for all our wonderful quilters, whose work stars in the festival auction. Special thanks to those who attended the quilting bees this summer, working on a king-sized quilt pieced at the West Coast MCC Center. Work on the quilt continued at Hope Village in Canby, where Frank Howard worked out that it contains approximately 65,000 stitches!
