Toni,

"Here is a picture of my almost-finished Mariner's Compass. I'll have to get busy and quilt it soon! It was fun and I'm very pleased with it."

Terri, from last year's Wind River Retreat in Pinedale, WY

"This Common Egret was quilted by Ruth Bishop using all hand-dyed fabrics by Aspidistra Fabrics."

Hello Toni!

"Here is the picture of the quilt square that I promised you (before framing). I love how it came out! I used blue and gold for the Navy colors. Everyone was very impressed. I even have an order to make another one. The article [below] tells about the auction -- my quilt square was even mentioned! It raised $130 for the scholarship fund!!!"

"Dolphin Scholarship Auction Scores Touchdown"
"The ninth annual Silver/Gold Dolphin Scholarship Auction was held March 30 at the Subase Gym. The Dolphin Scholarship Foundation was established in 1961 by submarine officers' wives when one $350 scholarship was awarded. There were 495 items for viewing that included a framed quilt block 'Mariner's Compass' that went for $130."
