The Magic Needle Quilt Guild surprised Gwen Flynn on Friday, July 7 with a very special send off for her last chemo treatment for leukemia (although the treatment was postponed). Members paper pieced orange ribbon blocks. Linda Pelletier sewed the blocks together and created a variegated orange piano key border. Charmaine Ireland long armed this beautiful quilt with a cancer ribbon all over design. Alice Baird made an uplifting label. Signs were made, balloons blown and masks donned for a surprise presentation to Gwen. A Great Group effort to Support one of our own!
