Default Re: The Fowles making the news in NB !

Ah, but there is more to the story!!
The Wedding Present! The Lightfoot Group (pre Corfid) came together in cyberspace and organized a quilting bee. Squares of fabric were sent out to all Lightheads who wished to participate and each designed their square with a Lightfoot song or theme. The squares were mailed back and beautifully assembled. It was HUGE! The final center square added was one signed by Gord himself and his band members. If I recall correctly, the finished quilt was presented to John an Susan backstage at a concert and with the quilt spread out, Gord walked around guessing and commenting on the artwork.

This truly was an act of love by the group to a couple very much admired.

I hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes by posting a few photos of the assembly process here. (Like most of my life, discs with other photos are packed away and unaccessible at this time - perhaps we could persuade John & Susan to post some assembled photos, and of Gord backstage admiring it.)

My apologies for not recalling all who were involved in the organization and assembly.
