The Next Generation of Quilters

 This photo was shared on the Humble Quilts facebook group. This is is Katelyn and she is 9 from Illinois. Look at her first quilt she is making!!! When completed she is going to give it to a veteran on Veteran's Day. Do you know how happy that veteran will be to receive this quilt??? Her grandma says she has more blocks made and is hoping to get the quilt into a top this weekend!!
I LOVE everything about this. Hopefully she is one of the next generation of quilters!!

As I told you Quiltworks in Bend is closing their doors for good. She is having one last First Friday and it is a fundraiser for Sewteachme.org which the owner of Quiltworks started. Click the link to read more. Here's a blurb:

STM is a non-profit program that matches trained, screened mentors with youth so that kids can learn to sew for free.

It was founded at QuiltWorks in Bend, Oregon and is organized by a small team of volunteers.

STM teaches youth basic sewing skills in a safe and comfortable environment. Volunteers and mentors want to share our love of sewing with the next generation.

Marilyn asked previous featured quilters if they'd like to donate a quilt to be purchased at the last First Friday. I donated "Stand Tall Chicken" made as a Humble Quilts Year of the Rooster challenge.

I'm hoping it sells and I can play a small part in teaching the next generation of quilters, like Katie!!

I'm preparing to walk Cascade Lakes Relay starting today- at the start line at 7:30AM!! My first "leg" is 7.1 miles in the middle of the afternoon and my 2nd leg will be about 5:30AM. If our timing is correct we should cross the finish line about 1:30 Saturday afternoon.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!!
