Tom, Peter, the Carols and I loaded up on Thursday morning. This was one of those times when I was glad Tom has a truck! Off we went to the hotel, where we set up all the quilts and goodies in the meeting room. One of our projects for this gathering was to make quilts in honor of our friend, Jennie Sherlock, who lost her battle with breast cancer last year about this time. I issued a challenge to everyone in the QuiltPocket, coming to Jamboree or not, to make a lap sized quilt and send it to me. All of the quilts, all 33 of them, were donated to the Seattle Cancer and Wellness treatment center. But more about that later...
Here is Carol from Australia with the pile of quilts we took to the hotel:
Goody bags for all, doorprizes and some of the Hometown Swap packages:
The gathering begins...
We sat around, stitching and talking--after, of course, they all got their bags of goodies! The items in the bags were an assortment of things to delight a quilter's heart. Everyone got a book, donated by Brenda Henning from Bearpaw Productions. Fabric from Michael Miller's fabric line. Some of the group even made presents for everyone else; into the bags those went! Everyone had a good time ooohing and ahhing over it all.
