Janet Wilcox worked with the Winn sisters and her grandson, Ethan Wilcox. Ethan unfortunately broke a needle in his finger, just before the big photo shoot, but thanks to Mary Helen Palmer who (like all good quilters) was prepared with a surgical tweezers, pulling half out from the top, and the other part from the bottom!!

Utah State University Extension provided the facility, lunch, door prizes, personnel and break activities for the quilters. It is a wonderful partnership and Lou Mueller and Karah Shumway were great to work with.
