One of the best things about spending several days in one place –like my time at the Vermont Quilt Festival – is getting to know people and spend more time with them! The people really ARE the best part of it all, you know?
So many talented and dedicated quilters doing what they love in support of causes that they also love!
One such gal is Sharon Shea Perry who has taken her love of drawing and stitching and put her efforts not only toward documenting things in and around Vermont that she loves, but she is doing it with a heart with all proceeds to benefit the Franklin County Quilters Guild in Saint Albans, Vermont.
The Covered Bridges of Vermont in Redwork!
Sharon gifted me a set!
And when I said I would be happy to help promote the series on my blog to further help the Franklin County Quilters Guild, she sent me TWO sets!
She writes:
The sale of each pattern set benefits the educational programs of the Franklin County Quilters Guild, St. Albans, VT. A fellow guild member, Denise Chase, and I collaborated on making a raffle quilt featuring covered bridges for the guild.
I drew all the embroidery patterns for the 12 covered bridges which were all once prominent landmarks in the county; some are still standing today.
Covered Bridges of Vermont Quilt
Denise designed the quilt layout, and several more members helped make the embroidered blocks. It was easy to translate the work we already did into a pattern set which we could sell.
There are 13 patterns which are sold as a set, one each for the 12 bridges and a pattern for the quilt top.
Close up detail of the Comstock Bridge in Montgomery, VT
My husband (and webmaster for the guild’s website), Scott, has included information on how to order the pattern set Here.
Seven Patterns included in the giveaway!
The pattern bundles offered up in our Give-Away include 6 of the various bridges and the finishing pattern.
Other patterns are available from the guild’s website.
What an awesome tribute to Vermont’s beautiful covered bridges!
So let’s do this giveaway!
I will be drawing two winners from the comments section using the random number generator on Monday evening, July 13, 2015.
When you leave your comment –whether you think you have your email address connected to your profile or not you MUST leave your email address in your comment. LEAVE YOUR ADDRESS. If I can’t reach you by email, you can’t win and I have to draw someone else. Plain and simple!
If a comment doesn’t work for you, make sure you are actually ON my page ((sometimes from a real computer is better than a mobile device)) and not reading me through a blog reader service like Bloglovin which is a mirror image site, you aren’t really ON my page if you are in bloglovin, Come to the blog directly. The URL should start with http://quiltville.blogspot.com Not anything else.
Good luck everyone!

I do redwork embroidery by hand all the time....and love it. And I love covered bridges...so this would be great to add to my collection of Redwork patterns. Thank you Bonnie for all you do. I have been searching for my tumbler template so I can do the Leaders & Enders with you. Right now as I am working on a project, I am sewing a strip to my string blocks as I am working on another project. So I am doing Leaders and Enders just not the tumblers right now. But I will! I love the Leader/Ender concept. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

I love the covered bridges, and missed some being able to see them the night I took the wrong fork and ended up driving to Manchester, VT instead of Manchester, NH from Connecticut. I temporarily forgot that those states have towns that have the same name. Did you know that you can't get across the mountains for a couple hundred miles.
