Children’s Donation Quilts
December 2009 Program
Featuring: Ann Zemkee’s “Orphan Train Rider” and the Buckner International

The true meaning of Christmas, once again in our guild, sprang forth as beautiful quilts, shoes, socks, scrapbooking supplies, and financial donations were given by members to the Buckner Children’s home. The love in the hearts of the RGVQG brought tears to the eyes of several. Ann Zemke spoke about the life of her grandmother, an Orphan Train Rider and displayed the quilt she made in her memory. Ann is a quilter and author of “They Named Me Marjorie,” an autobiography of the orphan’s life. 178 people attended this heart-tugging meeting. New members were introduced and visitors that did not sew but had heard about our program attended. Door prizes with Norman Rockwell photos of children added to the fun. A Christmas meeting to remember!
