Jeri and Bentley.
Well, I guess
you can call me the "lucky one" - I get to work with all these talented
ladies each year as they conjure up another beautiful work of art.
These wonderful fiber artists teach me each and every day and inspire me
to go further with my own quilting (did I mention I didn't even know how
to quilt when I joined the Bee).
I live with my husband, Ron and our 6 year old Airedale - "Bentley" in
Boca Raton, Florida. We also have 2 wonderful Quarter Horses - a 22 yr
old gelding that has been with me since he was 3 years old and a 6 year
old gelding that has been with us since he was 2 years old. We're in
the process of building a new home just north of Gainesville, Florida
where the horses and Bentley can enjoy 8 beautiful acres of natural
Florida. And I get a real sewing studio and a barn - what more can a
woman want - except that we raise more funds for those Airedales in
Rescue.
I'm what you call the Bee Keeper for the Airedale Quilting Bee. Myself
and Holly Coes take care of the day to day running of the Bee. We make
sure that the projects are on time and that each Bee member is on track
for what they are scheduled to do for each project. I've learned so
much by being in the Bee and I've also met some wonderful women within
the Bee, I consider them to be dear friends. Being the Beekeeper has
also allowed me to meet and work with some of the many outstanding
people in the Airedale Community.
If at any time any of you out there, reading this would like to talk to
me about joining the Bee or helping with the Quilt promotions, please
contact me at airemail@bellsouth.net (pretty spiffy email address, huh
;> ).
Now, go enjoy the blocks and buy lots of tickets because this quilt is
truly a work of art.
NOTE:
Jeri not
only usually makes a block but fills in wherever is needed. For "Cirque
du Sol' Aire" she did the machine embroidery for two of the
blocks.
