St. Paul’s Needlepoint Rug
Nancy Cavanaugh was the lucky winner of this year's beautiful needlepoint rug. We are so grateful to the stitchers of the rug who were Caroline Ellis, Bay McClure, Penny Macintyre, Martha Johnson, Sheila Daume, Yvette St. Jean, Jeanette Fowlkes, and Meryl Renwick. We are also very grateful to all those who underwrote the cost of the rug and to all the wonderful cheerful, enthusiastic ticket sellers on Main St. We owe a huge thank you to Congdon and Coleman for letting us set up in front of their office and helping us set up and break down on all the days we were there. It is a wonderful fund raiser for St. Paul’s and a wonderful way for us to spread the word about all the wonderful things we are doing at St. Paul’s.
Thank you one and all,
Sheila Daume.

Please feel free to forward this YouTube video on to friends and family. Not only is it worthwhile watching and listening, this video serves as an example of St.Paul's continuing desire to engage the community at-large, both on Nantucket and beyond.
