Featured Quilter Karen G.

Our featured quilter on this lovely December morning is Karen G.

Karen lives on a beautiful Minnesota farm known for it’s long white fences. On top of all this she is the mother of 7 (that’s right seven) beautiful daughters.

From the looks of her quilts, we can see she loves to piece with Itty, Bitty pieces, especially in civil war fabrics. It makes it even more fun when she brings her little featherweight sewing machine to retreats.

Karen is one of the RN’s in our group, which makes us feel safe.

SASSY QUILTERS DONATE QUILTS TO VFW AUXILIARY

 The Chatfield Giese-Kelsey Post 6913 Auxiliary has been the recipient of several quilts donated by the ‘Sassy Quilters,’ a local quilting group in Chatfield, Minnesota.

In 2006, the Sassy Quilters donated two quilts which were given to Veteran’s Homes in Hastings and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The donations were very well received by the veterans and the group continues to donate to the Auxiliary every year. A total of twenty quilts have been donated over the last four years.

The Auxiliary takes joy in giving the quilts to veterans who deserve and appreciate the comfort of a quilt made especially for them.

Quilting is a gift a quilter gives herself; it is in giving them to others that brings the most joy.
