Minnesotan's quilt brought big bucks at the Coho Conf
Becca Brackett, from the Cedar Cohousing core group here in the Twin Cities, is a quilter. Becca made a quilted wall-hanging with a cohousing theme and donated it to the auction at the conference (it's a fundraising event for CohousingUS.)
Becca's wall-hanging sold in the live auction for $600 to a community member of PDX Commons Cohousing in Portland, Oregon. Congratulations Becca, and thank you for your service to the greater cohousing milieu!

May this be an inspiration to anyone thinking about contributing something to the auction for the next conference, whenever that may be held.
