| Star Quilt |
This Star quilt was a monthly program at Freckles Quilt
shop. This little star sampler that you
see inside the large star was available once a month on a Tuesday and it cost
$4.00 or two toonies (what we call a two dollar coin in Canada). All the money collected was donated to a
couple of Calgary high schools to go toward helping students in need.
At the end of the program customers could purchase the finishing
kit, which for this quilt was the larger stars, sashing, borders and
binding. I think it finishes the quilt
nicely.

pantograph by Sue Schmieden.
The Canadian 2 dollar coin, commonly called Toonie, was
introduced on February 19, 1996.

Sounds like a great program. And with a lovely end result. Congratulations on getting it finished up.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful program which went on a a few years and helped many students. Our lovely Freckles Quilt shop is now closed.
