The Quilt Meister, Our Librarian & The Artist!
Boy...did I luck out "happening upon" this lady! A story in itself! We talked about some fabric strips and then it all starting to come alive on this first day! (The first day of many tears for me...happy ones of course!)

Yvonne dubbed Queen of Stitches by Ms. Trigiani
Quilt Meister, our Librarian, Yvonne Judd dubbed Queen of Stitches by Adriana Trigiani! I wanted to thank Yvonne in a BIG way! She incorporated signatures but didn't have any of her own. Ms. Trigiani is one of her favs so she helped me provide a BIG thank you! I've been the one crying...guess who cried this time!?!?

Donated Fabric-It All Started From These!
Not what I expected at all! Doesn't look like my stash! Many of the other volunteer quilters are donating fabric as well. I've purchased a couple of pieces...that's it! The rest has been DONATED!!!

More Beautiful Donated Fabric
Yvonne asked if I would accept some "donated" fabric for the quilt. I planned on purchasing all of the fabric myself. Little did I know what gorgeous DONATIONS I would receive!

First Shop Hop
I Know Nothing About Quilting...But Trust Me, I Do Know How To Shop!

Making Choices - WOW!
And I suppose to pick out 2 or 3 pieces that I like from all of this? Wrong! But the artist was with me (who DOES know about quilting and colors) so it made it a little easier! But we were still there for 2-3 hours!!!

Perfect Fabrics Found; Purchases Made
After "drooling" for a couple of hours, my Quilt Coordinator (also our ibrarian) ASSISTED me in selected the "background" of the bookshelf quilt design so the "building" of Jo's Library Quilt could commence!

The volunteers received "packets" to begin their "stitching" process.

Without the Volunteers I Wouldn't Have A Quilt
And Little Did I Know How Talented They Are! They're Blocks are Gorgeous!

They Do All The Sewing!
And It's A Good Thing! Because I Don't Know Anything About Quilting! I Just Type Letters!
