Donna Feagin

Photo of Donna Feagin

Donna Feagin, one of San Luis Obispo County's dearly loved quilters, passed away due to pancreatic cancer Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011. She had been a member of numerous guilds on the Central Coast and had cochaired the Seven Sisters Show for a couple of years. Donna was the kind of person that was just 'there for you' and would help anyone with any project at any time. The quilting community in San Luis Obispo County has truly suffered quite a loss and we will miss Donna terribly.

2012 Seven Sisters Quilt Show Opportunity Quilt

Tickets go on sale in November for $1 each or 6 for $5. The winner will be drawn at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 29th, at the Seven Sisters Quilt Show. Winner need not be present to win.
