Reunion Alpha Chi Patchwork Pillow
If you attended our reunion you received the patchwork pillow designed and made by Susie W. Knieriem. Sue made 43 pillows featuring the Ohio Star pattern made of red and green fabric. The Ohio Star quilt block was centered with a gold thread Lyre, and surrounded by a lovely red carnation fabric. For a final touch of elegance the edge was "piped" in olive green. These lovely pillows will be treasured by all of us! Thank you Susie!
Official 2007 Reunion T-Shirts
Carolyn Canning Freer's final design for our reunion T-shirt was classy and worn with pride by all the sisters. Our dark blue knit shirts featured an embroidered red carnation and Gamma Lambda reunion written in gold on the left side. Thank you Carolyn for your hard work. I look forward to wearing mine at future Alpha Chi events including our National Convention in Arizona in July 2008.
