said. "Probably 10 or 15 years ago ...
some nurses came to the group and
asked if we could make some quilts
for babies at the hospital."
Each year, the quilters go crazy
making as many baby quilts as they
can. Several members of the group
also crochet Afghans. One year, the
group made 300 child-size quilts for
the hospital.
"I've made up to 80 a year by my-
self," Mineo said.
Mineo said that she started sew-
ing at nine or 10 years old.
"I grew up on a dairy farm in rural
Wisconsin and I was in 4H and one
of the projects you could do is sew,"
she said.
These days, Mineo focuses mostly

Quilters and she encouraged me to

The Christmastown Quilters do-
nate quilts to three other hospital
programs, including Fantasy For-
est, the hospital's annual charity
golf tournament and the Sherwood
Guild's Cooking with Xinh fundrais-
er.
They also donate a quilt each year
'for the Karen Hilburn Fund.
One of the unique things about
the Christmastown Quilters is that
they don't make any money from
their work. Every person in the club
donates their time, sewing machine,
thread and fabric. The group 0nly
pays for batting, which Mineo said is
the most expensive part of quilting.
"With $200 or $300 a year we make
all of those quilts," she said.
Last week, several members spent
much of their quilt club meeting sort-
ing through boxes of donated fabric
from another quilting group.

within their area in event of disaster. It was estab-
lished that the Panchot residence would be a gather-
ing point in case of some kind of event.The community
would work on lists such of supplies and equipment
and what special skills they might share, as well
as special need items, such as medicine. Of concern
were those who might need assistance with mobil-
ity. We discussed how and what to put in a survival
kit for the home and car. The community agreed to
continue to work together on compiling info and plan
another meeting this coming August. I would like to
remind the community that Mason 5 is happy to help
with classes on preparedness and on first aid class-
es. We would like minimum of 20 people per class. If
there is a Community Assn. or group that is interested
they can me at 427-5521."
Kathy Ross is sponsoring a Harstine Island Art Stu-
clio Show at 10 E. Ballow Road. Ross, Lillian Morlock
and Susan Holland will have their show from noon to
5 p.m. on May 28, 29 and 30. They would like you to
join them.
Ross has been a full time self employed 3-D artist
since 1978. Most common comment: this is the most
unique thing I've ever seen. Where do these ideas
come from? Holland has had paint under her finger-
nails for at least 65 years and has a few woodcarving
calluses as well. She studied at Tyler School of Fine
Arts of Temple University, in Philadelphia. Currently
she divides her attention between somewhat impres-
sionistic painting and working in wood. She finds liv-
ing creatures fascinating, and her work tends to be
of animate subjects. Morlock just graduated from the
University of Washington with a BFA. Her imagery
(sculpture and prints) includes skulls, eyes, dreams,
telescopes, owls, set in rich stormy landscapes.
Sunday, May 29, the Fresh Start Market and Dell
is opening. Several months ago Deborah Wallace talk-
ed to Pioneer Kiwanis about her dream to open a store
- well "that dream is about to come true. Deborah's
store is going to be unique in that it will offer grocery
supplies in a fresh and interesting way. She will offer
organic fair trade coffee, but no espresso or latte's. Lo-
cal fresh farm produce will be a central feature along
bulk foods. A local artist, Barbara Cambell, painted a
wonderful mural on the wall between the produce and
bulk foods. Look at it closely as Barbara has cleverly
hidden eleven bunnies in the background. Connected
to the market is the dell It will feature draft beer and
wine by the glass. On Fridays and Saturdays, they
will have hand crafted gourmet pizza. There will also
be a large selection of Dee's Teas. There is a lot more
to the store, so stop by and check it out, I think you
will have a great time shopping.

never thought about enter-
ing."
Years later, Jordan came
across the competition
again, completelY by acci-
dent.
"In 2004 I was looking
online for people to publish
science fiction illustrations
... I came across the contest
again," she said.
Jordan first entered piec-
es in the contest in 2007,
and recently was a winner
in the 2011 contest.
At the workshops in
California, Jordan met and
worked with artists she
had long admired for their
work, ' including contest
judge Dave Dorman, who
did original illustrations
for the original "Star Wars"
and "Indiana Jones" mov-
ies.
During the week and a
half of workshops Jordan
went to with the other con-
test winners, she said she
learned valuable skills from
artists including Dorman,
and Stephen Hickman, who
has done modern illustra-
tions for the "Lord of the
Rings" novels.
"It's really awesome," she
said. "I never went to art
school - I have learned some
really awesome technical
skills. I learned how to use
oil paints and layer them."
Jordan said she's eager
to put some of those skills
to use as soon as possible
"[Hickman] taught me
how to paint a hologram in
oil paint," she said.
While Jordan used to
view her art as just an en-
joyable pastime, winning
the contest has given her
the confidence to see her art now ... now that I've seen
as a career, what these guys do and how
"I'm pushing it a lot more serious they are," she said.
