July 2025 Update: We had Christmas in July at Studio this week – our dear friends the quilting twins Toni Terek and Nettie Berkey brought us 28 fantastic finished comfort quilts.
Twenty-eight, mind you. FINISHED!! And all of them done between January and now.
Toni and Nettie share a love of quilting – and a longarm. If they lived here they would definitely be Guild members, but since they live in central PA, they are our long-distance honorary members. Their quilts are always so colorful and beautifully made, and we’re so grateful they’ve chosen to donate them through the Guild!
