PIECEFULLY YOURS BAYBERRY QUILTERS OF CAPE COD Volume XXXI Issue 2 December 2012 PIECE FROM THE TOP

Dear Fellow Quilters,

The calendar year is quickly coming to an end. Where did the time go? I look back over the last months and reflect on the varied accomplishments of Bayberry members.

We had a successful Quilt-In for the children and grandchildren of Bayberry members during February school vacation. There were members honored nationally for quilts submitted to regional and national shows, while others were featured in national magazines. The biggest honor went to those members who were sought out by national and local museums and asked to donate their award winning quilts to the museums' permanent collections.

We were able to update our by-laws so that our Fiscal Year better reflects the ongoing operations of Bayberry's yearly activities. Our scholarship and toolship donations continue to assist students at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School as they further their education and/or enter the work force in their chosen trades. The Bayberry "Buddy System" is a huge success; thank you to all who signed on for this effort.

The Herring Run Quilt Guild of Norwell, MA asked Bayberry if they could exhibit The National Seashore Quilts from Bayberry's 2011 Quilt Show. Of course we responded in the positive. The sharing of this exhibit is just another example of quilters supporting one another.

The 2013 Raffle Quilt, "Escape to Cape Cod," is nearing completion. Thirty members volunteered to take part in this original design created by Diane McGuire. Work has also begun on the 2014 Raffle Quilt. Carol Horrigan received a Block of the Month called "Beacons of Light", (including all fabric requirements,) from a friend who no longer quilts. Carol's friend wanted the quilt to be completed for a worthy cause. Diane McGuire contacted the designer, Mary Gay Leahy, to request permission to market the quilt for our 2014 Raffle. Ms. Leahy granted permission and was pleased to learn where the proceeds were going. A dozen members signed on to hand appliqué the 12 blocks while another member signed on to do the sashing for each block. This project is being coordinated by Cecilia Maciá and is moving along nicely.

A contest to create a new banner for Bayberry is underway. Look for details on Page .4

We trust you had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends and family. We look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Luncheon and, once the New Year begins, we hope to see you at guild meetings, quilt-ins and the many activities Bayberry has to offer. Cheers,

Joan Andrews, President Lu Obarowski, Vice President

I'm a Bayberry member with a very special story. My grand daughter Bella was born 6 years ago at 29 weeks and 2 lbs 9 ozs. After months in the neonatal inten- sive care unit, a brain bleed, or PVL, was discovered which affected her gross motor skills. Bella can only walk with braces and a walker, but SOMEDAY, she will walk on her own. She is a happy, loving tough kid who just happens to love to learn knitting and sewing. I came upon a tiny White sewing machine , just straight with an on off , no foot pedal. It runs slowly- just perfect for Bella. This was her first trip up to my sewing room ever. We carried her up there, placed her in my sewing chair and sheer joy erupted. After sewing a couple of scraps she just had to call her Mom and tell her she was sewing with Grandma Ro Ro. We made a pillow for her American Girl doll and now when Bella visits the Cape all she wants to do is take over my sewing room. Someday, maybe she will have a quilt in the show.

All the best, Ro Morrissey Piecefully yours page 7
