 Whitney
Quilters is a group of senior ladies that meet once a week
at the Whitney Senior Center in St Cloud, MN. They get
together to handquilt their own quilts, but since September
2011, have gotten together an additional day every other
week to handquilt the quilts for the Home of the Brave
project. From September through mid December 2011, they have
handquilted five quilts, plus, several members have made and
quilted quilts individually. They are continuing this
project in 2012.

 On
the evening of June 16, 2011, approximately 30 quilters
gathered in the ballroom at the St. Paul River Centre to
honor Jean Loken and to work for about two hours sewing
quilt tops for the Home of the Brave project. The group
finished 6 quilt tops that evening.
Angie Roberts, the owner of The Noble Quilter Quilt Shop in
Elk River, and Yvonne Curran, the President of Minnesota
Quilter’s Inc., donated the fabrics that were used. Bernina
of America provided classroom sewing machines.
It was a fun evening, and everyone worked very hard. |
