�The quilt that JD (parts manager) won at the 2008 Motorcops for Kids Run
was spectacular. Our LOH showed off their skills with needle and thread
that was worthy of any State Fair Ribbon. The quilt had an international
theme along with the 105th Anniversary bandana.

We picked the bandanas for the 2009 quilt Saturday afternoon after the Chili
Cook off. This year�s quilt will be orange, black and gray. I am looking for
the sashing and backing fabric now. The quilting will begin as soon as I get
everything put together and on the frame. Keep an eye out on the calendar
for the Tuesday night sessions. You won�t want to miss them.

We need everyone to start collecting Rally Bandana�s this year. We have
three from previous rallies and would like to make that the theme of the 2010
quilt. You might be the winner yet. Ask JD. It only took him 7 years, but he
now has his own one of a kind quilts displayed at his home.

We will welcome any bandana you find interesting as long as it has a
designated shop or rally. These have become a little more difficult to find
recently, but I am confident that we can continue our annual quilt project.
The bandanas need to be cotton and not the new polyester stretchy ones.
Stretch is too difficult to quilt.

Our quilt becomes a treasury of sites seen and places visited. Ask at HD shops
that you visit for their bandanas. Once they hear about our project, often
times their bandana will be donated.
Find your thimbles and leave your Tuesday nights open.

Thanks
Julie Steger
