"Wendy - Chandler - Quilting"

For years Wendy came once a week to teach a mini-course for me. Many 7th and 8th graders, as well as me, learned how to hand quilt in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. She not only brought all the needed materials, she would bring her quilts to class to share the beauty and history of each. She encouraged everyone, helping them feel very successful.
Over the years she introduced many creative projects. I distinctly one student coming to class saying she had been at a restaurant in Pasadena when she noticed a family with a young baby covered by a small, colorful quilt. She talked to the family having recognized the very small nine patch quilt was made by students in Wendy's mini-course, signed on the back by students, and given to the Neo-Natal Unit at Huntington Hospital.
For all the students who learned quilting from you, and for all the wonderful hours I shared with you - thank you.
Happy 60th and many more years of happiness.
