The New Image Quilters recently pieced and hand quilted a quilted wall hanging for the Women's Coalition of St. Croix.  The quilt depicts work undertaken by the Women's Coalition.  Some of the events pictured on the quilt include the tennis tournament, the annual Women Race, the Art Auction, Take Back the Night, and the Golf Tournament.

The quilters who participated designed then pieced their blocks.  The quilt was then passed to various quilters for the hand quilting.  All of the quilt blocks are original designs except for the group of women which was a pattern by Lynn Harkin entitled The Ladies Club.  The quilt took six months to complete and was organized by Karen Zimmerman.

The New Image Quilters was founded in 1979 by Judy Pierce.  The 20 or so women meet weekly to work on their own quilts or on group quilting projects.  The group has made quilts for Whim Greathouse, the Queen Louise Home, The St. Croix Aquarium and the Animal Shelter.

The quilters whose handiwork can be seen on the WCSC quilt include:  Karen Zimmerman, Meg Tweed, Yvonne Bakker, Glendeen McNamara, Carolyn Roblyer, Bethanne Cousins, Annie Johnston, Carole Hendley, Carole Griffin, Lynn Marsland, Phyllis Charles and Ruth Thomas.

A huge thank you from the Women's Coalition to all of you quilters.
