CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association (CLSPIA) has received a gift of a beautiful king-size quilt, "Navajo Spirit,” from Kelseyville 4H members Kelsey Carstensen, Victoria Hayes and Clara Carstensen.
This exquisite quilt is given to CLSPIA for a fundraising raffle at the Wildflower Brunch on April 24 during the Heron Festival.
The bunch will take place from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday only, in the Group Camp location over the footbridge from the Visitor Center parking or parking is available at the Group Camp.
This gift is an example of the true spirit of our local people who believe in and support CLSPIA and its work to preserve nature at its best as well as provide programs for all ages.
This group of 4H members has become accomplished in the craft of quilting under the guidance of Anne Barquist.
In addition to weekly quilting sessions, the girls and Barquist attend meetings of Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild.
At their monthly meetings, guild members who have crafted a chosen quilt block called "Block of the Month," hold a drawing and one lucky attendee goes home with all of the blocks, the beginning of a beautiful new quilt.
Clara Carstensen was the lucky winner of quilt blocks designed by Brenda Ferrario. Together with Clara's sister, Kelsey Carstensen, Victoria Hayes and Anne Barquist, a quilt began to take shape.
The group decided to donate the quilt to CLSPIA for the Wildflower Brunch raffle at the Heron Days Festival. The girls made additional blocks and assembled the quilt. Anne Barquist provided the backing, filling and had it machine quilted. A border and binding were added and the quilt emerged with the name "Navajo Spirit."
