SEVEN SISTERS QUILT BY KAREN CAPPS OF MADISON, WISCONSIN

Some of you may be aware of this, but I was not.  As most of you know, I retired in early January.  The last three months I worked were pretty hectic.  My "American Quilter" magazine came and I put it away as I did not have time to look at it.  A couple of weeks ago, I pulled it out and found that this beautiful Seven Sisters quilt constructed and hand quilted by Karen Capps of Madison, Wisconsin, won the Best Hand Workmanship award at the AQS show in Des Moines, IA last fall.

I contacted Karen and she sent me a picture of her quilt and gave me permission to post it on the blog.

Many of you may know Karen as she was a long time member of WQI and came to our first retreat in Lake Geneva two years ago.

Please join me in congratulating Karen on this awesome award winning quilt.

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

The good news is that we now have a full registration for our first annual Retreat/Reunion.

This however may be bad news for you if you were thinking about participating.

This event will hopefully be repeated again in 2012 so you will have a chance to partipate in the future.

Please watch for pictures of the 2011 event after May 22nd.
