I am finishing the hand-quilting on the border of a quilt made of hand-dyed fabrics that were done by myself and a couple of local ladies I was trying to teach quilting to in Vanuatu. We called ourselves the Port Vila Quilters and decided to make this quilt to raise money for our local Ambulance/emergency response charity. Since neither of the ladies even knew how to use a sewing machine, it was slow going even though I chose a simple pattern to piece. It never got past the cut-out stage and was put away when one of the two ladies passed away. I recently got it out when packing our house to move back to the States, and decided I needed to finish it. I am calling it "Remembering Violet" in honor of our friend, and am taking it back to Vanuatu with me in about 5 weeks where I will chair a fundraiser and either auction it, or raffle it. The other lady isn't aware I have done this, so I hope she will be pleased.
