The Wedding Quilt was a brainstorm of our own Jenney. She sent out the call to all known Lightheads at the time and the response was amazing. I was her humble assistant when it came time to assemble the priceless piece of art and was lucky enough to be backstage at the Norwalk CT concert when it was presented. It was a not-to-be-topped backstage experience. Personally I made a SDYS square as that is a fav song of Susan's and ended apologizing to Gord as he was checking it out. I changed the lyrics (and the carving on the tree) to "John Loves Susan". He looked up and gave me a look that sent shivers up my spine. <sigh>
And the experience gave us a new shipping term...Yurrier. It seems a certain square from Canada took a longer than expected delivery time...LOL  |
What a wonderful story and effort from all who participated and supported this gift. I actually recall Jenney telling me about the project back then and she may have even emailed photos to me. But it has been so long ago now and until reading these posts...I had forgotten all about it!
It's nice to know of the individual experiences/thoughts of those who made the squares and then those when the quilt was completed and presented. A great, altruistic effort!
