Commemorative quilts are very popular fund raising projects for community
events. What better way to raise needed funds while getting a chance
to practice your creativity and quilting skills. Kim, Fawzia and Virginia
collaborated on the design, construction and quilting of this raffle
quilt for the historic Fargo theater. They added in motifs that spoke
of this historic film theater like the drama masks with the faces
of Laurel & Hardy, the stops of the famous pipe organ, the beautiful
art deco lighting fiztures, and the film winding through the appliqué
made of two different ribbons. They even used pieces of the original
red velvet upholstery from the theater seats.
