Tribute Photo Quilt

Jeannie Smith · Post by **Jeannie Smith** » 29 Oct 2004 7:30 am

I've made a tribute quilt, with photos of the Headline steel players that have played at the Saluda shows over the years. You can hang it in your music/family room, or use it on a guest bed! Raffle tickets will be $5 and ALL proceeds will go to the Saluda Shrine club. I'm married to that bass player in Saluda and enjoy handwork while I watch my favorite steel show!! Will post photos of it next week. It will be on display at the Saturday night jam. PS Jean Hughey bought the first raffle ticket!!

So that's YOU out there quiltin'! Tell Charles to give you 5 bucks, since I won't be there, and put my name in the hat! And THANK YOU so much for such a wonderful gift, for the Shrine Club!

I happen to have seen Jeannie's handwork before and I can assure you that this very special quilt will be a prized collector's item. I've actually seen a sneak preview of this masterpiece, and it's really beautiful, even with pictures of all those hairy-legged boys all over it.(But some of my favorite hairy-legged boys, I must say; one in particular) Jeannie,from whom may we purchase raffle tickets? I need to get somewhere in the middle between Jean and Roger. You've done a beautiful job, and we all appreciate your long hours of truly charitable giving of your time and yourself.
Love you,
Laney

Jeanie,

What a great idea! Count on me for a couple of tickets. I hope you enhanced the project with a shot of a bass man or maybe a drummer in one of the pictures.

See ya in a few weeks,

Jim

Hi Jeannie,
This is VERY cool!!
I KNOW this must have taken some time to do. Super auction item!!!!!

(Jeannie writes books, paints beautiful pictures, designs flower arrangements, makes quilts - AND attends jams at the same time. Clearly, she got a big dose of somebody else's ATTENTION gene. I'll bet it was mine!)

Jeannie has written a very special book that would make a beautiful gift for any woman in your life! Any chance you'll have any of them available in Saluda, Jeannie?

Hugs,
Donna

Jeannie Smith cando wonders with her hands . It wouldn't suprise me if she could play bass. I can't be there but Iwoud like to have a couple of the tickets.If she would only make one with a picture of Laney Hicks On it . She could raise at least a couple thousand for the Shriners. Garland Nash
