A Short History

 

 
 
The Tiger Quilt:
Now, many of you know that Mary Alice Resor Hart, Class of 1960, has donated an art quilt to aid in the scholarship fund.  I’ve talked to her, and we are very interested in seeing one of our members receive the quilt.  We’re not sure how best to proceed with that.  Perhaps it could be a prize to the highest donor during a given period of time?   Or maybe a raffle with each donor receiving a chance in a drawing – perhaps multiple chances based on the amount given?   But first we need to check on the legality of our website conducting a raffle.  Your help is welcome.
 
The Campaign:
Your checks are welcome now and will be so welcomed throughout the year.  Remember; mail them to Mr. Simpson at ERHS. Click here: for instructions and mailing address.
 
 
Thank you for being great Tigers!

Some Background

Mary Alice was surrounded with quilts from an early age. Her grandmother, aunts and mother all quilted.  As a youth and young adult it was just a bit of her life with her making her first quilt when her son was born.  In time, she retired.  In 2008, the mix of required tools (digital camera and computer), time (to play with ideas and processes), and knowledge (how to turn pictures into patterns) came together.  She made her first guilt and, as she says, “I was hardly finished with my first piece, Brown-Eyed Susan, when I found myself totally obsessed.”

 

 

Below are a few samples of her art.
