Happy Birthday Anne! A couple of years ago Anne was our
resident art quilter at our spring and summer
machine quilting retreats.

She is quirky and fun and taught us how to machine quilt birds...

Anne loved our
Art Quilter frame because she could set it up like an easel.

Anne has many talents besides art quilting. She felts and works with glass and paints and draws and nurtures other artists.

Anne's family stumbled upon this renovated Methodist Chapel in North Yorkshire and realized that it was the perfect platform for all her many interests. It was a great spot for her family too!

| Chapel Gallery an artist's haven and more! |
Well Anne emailed the other day. She had a commission for a large quilt and needed an upgrade to extend her existing frame. So we sent her an upgrade and it arrived today, just in time for her birthday! Happy Birthday Anne! You've had quite an exciting year.
