As The Timeswent to press onWednesday, onlyone more vote wasneeded to do away

with lifeguards at the North-side swimming pool for thecoming swim season.

During their Thursday,February 25 Work Session,the Seven Lakes LandownersAssociation [SLLA] Board ofDirectors voted to forwardto the Thursday, March 3Open Meeting PresidentChuck Leach's motion "toauthorize management toobtain a pool manager andattendants for the 2016 sea-son."

The Open Meeting is sched-uled for Thursday, March 3,at 7:00 pm.

During the Work Session,Director Bob Racine present-ed the Recreation Commit-tee's recommendation thatthe Board continue to employlifeguards from noon to 5:00pm during the Summerschool vacation, while extend-ing pool hours from 6:00 amto 9:00 pm.

The pool would be operatedon a "swim at your own risk"basis during hours whenno lifeguard is present.

The Recreation Committeeproposed reserving 6:00 am– 8:30 am for adult onlyswim, with water aerobicsfrom 8:30 am to 9:15 am.

Swim lessons would beoffered from 9:30 am to 11:30am and the pool would beclosed for maintenance from11:30 am 'til Noon.

L i f e guards wou ld beemployed from Noon to 5:00pm. At 5:00 pom, the poolarea would be cleared, aslifeguards were replaced bypool attendants, who wouldremain on duty from 5:15pm to 9:00 pm.

Schedule too complicatedLeach, who has been a con-

sistent opponent of retaininglifeguards, objected that theproposed schedule was toocomplicated.

Fred Lawrence, who dreamed of, and then built,Seven Lakes, died on Friday, February 19, at age 84.

Lawrence was a highly successful insurance brokerfrom Sanford who, the story goes, was quail huntingin the area that would become Seven Lakes when herecognized its potential for development.

He assembled investors, formed a corporation —Longleaf, Inc. — and, in 1972, purchased the landthat would become Seven Lakes North. The tractsthat would become Seven Lakes South and SevenLakes Country Club were added in 1974; Seven Lakes

Spencer Fergusonis a people person.

His broad smileand easy laughtelegraph that fact

as soon as you walk into theoffice of the new Seven LakesLandowners Association[SLLA] Community Manag-er.

A native of Greensboro,Ferguson majored in Edu-cation at the University ofNorth Carolina - Greensboro.But a stint at student teach-ing persuaded him that hisplace was not in the class-room.

So, for twenty years, hehas managed communitieslarge and small across Northand South Carolina. Fergu-son told The Times that hehas managed communitiesas large as Seven Lakes andas small as a ten unit town-house association.

"Some were very similar toSeven Lakes," he said, "withgolf courses, pools, gates,and other amenities."

What about the job appealsto him?

"The people," he said. "Thedifferent personalities andpeople you meet with on adaily basis. I like dealing withthe people."

"The biggest challenge, thething I like best, is dealingwith the personalities, the

agendas — wading throughall of that to do what's bestfor the community as awhole."

Ferguson has no agendaof his own, he told The Times,but sees his job as helpingthe Board set its agenda,and then helping to make ithappen.

"I don't want to come inhere and change everything,"he said. "Things are aging,of course. Things need to bemaintained to keep up peo-ple's property values. Moneyis and always will be an issue.We need to maintain thevalue, but be responsible indoing so."

Every community is differ-ent, he explained.

"I've had it where they wantme to make all the decisions,and I've had it where theydon't want me to make anydecisions," he said. "I've evenhad situations where everymember of the Board resigned— so I had to make the deci-sions."

Over the years, Fergusonsaid, he has seen a declinein community involvement— folks being willing to serveon a board or committee.

"Families are having towork two jobs, and after workthey need to stay home andwatch the kids. So, eventhough their home is theirbiggest investment, they don'tget involved the way they

once did.""When they get home at

6:00 pm, they don't want tothink about these kinds ofthings."

Ferguson is new to CAS,Inc., the company that pro-vides management servicesto the Association, but hesaid he has known peoplefrom CAS through the indus-try.

He's also been gettingacquainted with Seven Lakesand with his new home inFoxfire Village.

"I've eaten at every restau-rant in town," he said. "Every-where I go, people engageyou in conversation. Andwhen they find out what Ido, then they really start toengage."

"When I do go into restau-rants and shops, everyone

seems to know everyone else.In the Food Lion parking lot,all the cars have barcodestickers."

"I'm glad to be here — hon-ored to be here," Fergusonsaid. "Everyone I have met

has made me feel welcome.""I hope to help the Board,

the staff, the homeowners,the committees — I hope tohelp them enhance the com-munity and its amenities."

A possible dealfor the purchaseof Beacon RidgeCountry Club hasapparently fallen

through. Club owners Don & Rhon-

da Billings are consideringtheir options, while planningto continue to operate theClub in the meantime.

The Club was listed withbroker Hilda W. Allen as anauction sale initially sched-uled to be concluded on Feb-ruary 4.

But, when a potential buyerapproached the broker withan offer outside the auction,the date was pushed backto February 16. A letter ofintent was signed, with a for-mal contract pending

In a February 22 letter tothe Club membership ,Billings said the buyer "suf-fered a sudden and devas-tating loss of a close familymember."

Allen recommended can-celling the auction, andBillings agreed. The realtorand auction company thenannounced that the auctionwas cancelled because theproperty was under contract.

"I understand that a coupleof days after the death of thepotential buyers' family mem-ber," Billings wrote, "he talkedwith a representative of thereal estate company and saidhe would get back laterregarding the purchase. Sofar, he has not."

"I therefore assume thathe is no longer a potentialbuyer," he added.

Ending the letter on anupbeat note, Billings writes,"the resodding of the greenshas greatly improved the con-dition of the course, andBRICO [the Billings' company]will continue to operate theClub and provide to its mem-bers and customers all thebenefits of a full service coun-try club."

Billings and his wife Rhon-da came out of retirement torun the club in 2013, afterterminating a lease withWingfield Properties, whichhad operated it for sixteenyears.

Since then, the Billing'scompany, Beacon RidgeInvestment Group, has madesubstantial upgrades, includ-ing remodeling portions ofthe clubhouse; adding a fit-ness center; reopening thepool; which had been closedby the county Health Depart-ment; and bringing on long-time Foxfire Golf managerHoward Cannon to manageday-to-day operations.

The improvements helpedreverse a decline in mem-bership. Billings told TheTimes that the club currentlyhas just under 200 mem-berships, with the majorityof those including couplesor families.

"We just felt like we hadmade an investment in hav-ing substantially rehabbedthe club, and it holding its

own for a couple of years,"he said, "but realized thatwe didn't want to continuewith the task of rebuilding

it up.""Given our ages," he said,

"it is time for us to retireagain." Billings is 81.

Infrastruc-ture DirectorParks Cobbo b j e c t e dstrongly to theexpansion of

of Seven Lakes West's boatand trailer storage area, cur-rently underway, during theTuesday, February 23 SevenLakes West LandownersAssociation [SLWLA] BoardMeeting.

The $20,000 project wasdeveloped by an ad hoc com-mittee led by CommunityManager Jeanette Mendence,with the objective of relievingovercrowding in the existingfacility. The Board approvedthe project in January; Cobbwas not present at that meet-ing.

The project will expand thestorage area to the northeast,onto land already owned by

the Association, providingroom for fifty-five larger, pull-though spaces, capable ofaccommodating larger boatsor RVs. Removing those largeritems from the existing yardis expected to allow reorgan-ization of that space.

Cobb argued that the Asso-ciation should have exploredpurchasing one of MooreCounty's former well sites,located at the intersection ofLongleaf and SmathersDrives, which would providea "straight shot" to Johnson'sPoint.

He also said the expansionis destroying two acres ofplanation-planted longleafpines, ideal for the productionof pine straw.

Cobb said purchasing andspreading pine straw costs$6 to $9 per bale, while itcan be bailed for $1.25 perbail, at most.

"It is massively different,"

he said.Cobb said the two acres of

plantation longleafs couldlikely supply the community'sneed for pine straw, "if wedon't completely destroy thisasset."

Adding that the project isdestroying a portion of theWestside nature trail, he said,"I think it is a bad idea, andI think we should stop thatproject immediately."

He also objected to the fact

that the project was not sentout for bids and said neitherthe Board nor the communitywas adequately informed ofthe options. He noted thatthe cost of the project had

The Clara McLean Houseis a haven of hope, support,and affordable lodging whena loved one receives care atFirstHealth Moore RegionalHospital or FirstHealth Hos-pice and Palliative Care.

Hospitality is part of healingat Clara’s House.

It is in that spirit of hos-pitality that a group of theWest Side’s Neighbor 2 Neigh-bor (N2N) volunteers willembark on ‘Clara’s Meal aMonth’ project that willinclude preparing home-cooked meals for guests stay-ing at the wonderful facili-ty.

And, in their spirit of“Neighbors Feeding Neigh-bors” the Sandhills Farm toTable Food Co-op has gen-erously offered a monthlydonation of farm-fresh fruits

and vegetables to assist N2Nin this endeavor.

Rosemary Weber, one ofthe founding members ofN2N and a gathering sitecoordinator for Farm to Tableat the West Side Park Com-munity Center, is the catalystfor the collaboration of thesetwo organizations for the ben-efit of those in need and thekindness and healing thatabounds at Clara’s House.

N2N cooking enthusiastsRuth Caldara, Sandi Carl,Carmela Chase, BarbaraFlower, Sandy Kowalczyk,Lori Lattin, Chris Mimms,Lisa Sheridan, Marg Sheroff,Sal ly Walsh, RosemaryWeber, and Bernadette Yorkhave been grouped into fourteams.

Each of the four teams willtake turns expressing theirculinary creativity once permonth when their Farm to

Table boxes arrive, preparinga breakfast, lunch, or dinnerfor 15 - 20 people. “Anythingyou’d like to make, we willgratefully accept, any timeand any day,” said LauraKuzma, Foundation Volunteerand CARE-Net Coordinatorat The Clara McLean House.

There are currently a fewClara’s House volunteers whoprepare some meals forguests at the residence, butthe need is much greaterbecause the residence hasbeen at full capacity for quitesome time. Guests often comeand go throughout the dayand evening, due to varyingtreatment schedules and vis-itation hours, and the kitchenis always open. Having re-heatable meals available atall times is an enormous helpand comfort for many at theend of stressful and exhaust-ing days and nights.

Ms. Kuzma is very appre-ciative of any help offered,whether it is a prepared meal,a monetary donation, or shelf-stable groceries for the pantry.

There may belife in StonehillPines, yet.

Mayor MickMcCue report-ed that news

to the Foxfire Village Council'sThursday, February 25 WorkSession, reporting that aprospective buyer of the near-ly 1,500-acre property isinterested in resurrecting theproject.

The property failed to sellat auction late last year andis currently listed by RobertEdwards of Edwards RealEstate.

McCue said he met withEdwards and a local repre-sentative of the prospectivebuyer, who asked that theCouncil renew the expiredStonehill Pines developmentagreement.

News of a major develop-ment north of Foxfire Villageon Hoffman Road first sur-faced in March 2008, whena Florida-based companypurchased the 1,442 acresfor nearly $20 million.

The proposed developmentwas to include two world-class golf courses, a resort

hotel, more than one thou-sand homes, and up to90,000 square feet of retailspace.

Having never before con-templated such a large devel-opment, the Village rewroteits Zoning Ordinance toinclude a category for PlannedUnit Development [PUD] andeventually annexed theStonewall Pines tract.

But Stonewall Pines wasa victim of the recession thatbegan in late 2008, and finan-cial backing for the projectdisappeared, never to berecovered.

The development agreementbetween the Village and theoriginal Stonewall Pines devel-oper was renewed year-afteryear, but finally expired onDecember 31.

McCue said the new devel-oper simply wants that agree-ment extended and, at thispoint, does not anticipatemajor changes in the devel-opment plan.

The most significant changewould be to scale back fromtwo golf courses to one,McCue said. He added thatthe developer felt the pricepoints originally projectedfor the residential unit were

"a little high."Financing for the develop-

ment is apparently to be pro-vided by California-basedSenaste Capital, LLC, whichMcCue described as a one-person investment firm.

Village Attorney Robert Hor-nick is currently exploringwhether it is possible for theVillage to renew the devel-opment agreement for anunnamed buyer, McCue said.

"I hope that he will tell me

that's possible," McCue said.Meanwhile, a public hearing

on the matter has beenscheduled for the Tuesday,April 8 Regular Council Meet-ing.

I n MooreCounty, theMarch 15 Pri-mary ElectionBallot includes

a question asking voters toauthorize a quarter centincrease in the sales tax.

Moore County's Board ofCommissioners have alreadypledged to use the revenuesgenerated by that tax increaseexclusively for to pay forschool construction projects.

Now they are asking theNC General Assembly to passa law ensuring that futureBoards will honor that pledge.

The Commiss i one rsapproved a resolution duringtheir Tuesday, March 1 reg-ular meeting that calls onthe General Assembly "topass a local act for MooreCounty restricting use of pro-ceeds from the additionalone-quarter percent . . . Salesand Use Tax . . . to MooreCounty public schools con-struction needs includingthe debt service associatedwith construction and to,further, include a sunset pro-vision on the local act if theneed for Moore County publicschool construction and debtservice for the same ceas-es."

Commissioners ChairmanNick Picerno said he hadspoken with NC Senator JerryTillman about the proposal,and Tillman was in favor ofit.

It's a commonplace in thelaws that apply to governingbodies that no Board canbind the hands of a futureBoard. However, the GeneralAssembly has the power torestrict the use of the new

sales tax revenues, if votersapprove the new quarter-cent tax.

The quarter-cent, whichamounts to an extra 25 centson a $100 purchase, isexpected to generate addi-tional revenue of $2.2 millionper year.

Moore County Schools[MCS] and the Commission-ers have agreed on four toppriority projects that, takentogether, have a price tag of$119 million: new elementaryschools in Aberdeen, South-ern Pines, and near Whis-pering Pines, and a newCareer-oriented high schoolto be built near SandhillsCommunity College.

Once those projects arefinished, however, six addi-tional projects that couldeasily double that $119 mil-lion expenditure are waitingin line.

In related action, the Com-missioners put in place aprocess for making sure thenew sales tax takes effect assoon as possible after it isapproved by the voters.

The Board will hold a spe-cial meeting on March 31 topass a resolution levying thetax, which will allow it to becollected beginning on July1.

The Commissioners alsopassed a resolution estab-lishing a process for payingfor school construction proj-

ects. Rather than having MCSpay invoices related to theprojects, those invoices willbe presented to the Board ofCommissioners and paiddirectly from the County'scoffers.

That is similar to the pro-cedure in place for Countyfunding of MCS's digital learn-ing initiative, Chairman Picer-no explained.

He added that it allows theCounty to recoup any salestax paid on the projects, pro-viding additional revenuethat can be put back intoschool construction.

The cost of a different taxPicerno took the opportu-

nity, during the "Commis-

sioner Comments" portion ofthe meeting, to point outproblems with a differentsales tax, one approved bythe General Assembly as partof the FY2016 state budget.

Legislators approved anexpansion of the types oftransactions to which salestax applies, including manytypes of labor and installationservices, including autorepair, appliance repair, andsimilar activities. Revenuefrom the sales tax expansionis limited to use for economicdevelopment, public educa-tion, and community col-leges.

The proceeds from thatexpansion — expected to total$84.8 million this year —

were not divided evenlyamong counties, and MooreCounty was left out altogeth-er.

One of the key elementsin this year's budget debatewas a drive by many ruralcounties to have local salestaxes allocated to countiesbased on population, ratherthan point of sale.

Currently, most sales taxrevenue is funneled back tothe county where it was col-lected — i.e., point of sale.But rural counties arguedthat this is unfair, since theirresidents often cross countylines to shop in cities andregional shopping hubs.

Business March 4, 2016 Seven Lakes Times 9

by Janna PtakTimes Reporter

Need a great car at a greatprice? Ken Culler has theanswer — and it's right herein Seven Lakes.

Seven Lakes Auto Whole-sale LLC has opened on Mac-Dougall Drive beside SevenLakes Dance.

Culler has had a passionfor automobiles his entirelife. But his career startedon the ground floor, so tospeak, installing flooring forten years, and then opening

his own floor-covering busi-ness.

After twelve years in theflooring business, Culleropened his first automobiledealership in Hamlet in 2004.He had always bought,cleaned, and fixed his owncars, so why not embracehis passion?

What began with five carson a lot with a ten-by-tenoffice grew quickly, leadingCuller to open a second suc-cessful dealership in Ham-let.

When Culler came to SevenLakes several years ago tovisit friends, the communitymade an impression.

“I loved the area when vis-iting friends,” he said. “I lovethe amenities. It’s a greatplace.”

Culler sold his Hamlet deal-erships and made prepara-tions for his third.

“I spent about a year inpreparation prior to opening,”he said.

Now a resident of SevenLakes North, Culler openedSeven Lakes Auto Wholesalein January, and is alreadyseeing a steady stream of carbuyers.

The Seven Lakes AutoWholesale team includesCuller; Tim Dixon, a well-known, experienced localsalesman; and Nicole Reese,the Seven Lakes resident incharge of bookkeeping.

Together, their goal is tooffer customers great buys,giving them the best productfor their money.

Not only do they provide

the community with greatdeals, but they also supportother Seven Lakes businesseswhen services are needed —businesses such as SevenLakes Hardware, G&M Auto-motive, Carolina Car Care,JR’s Mobile Detailing, andlocal mechanics.

Every new vehicle receivesan inspection and oil changefrom Mike’s Tire and Autobefore sale and is test drivenat Seven Lakes Auto Whole-sale.

Though Culler has owneddealerships before, this ishis first wholesale dealer-ship.

Being a wholesale dealer-ship means being able tooffer the same low discountedprice to both other dealersand the public — the publicis offered the same deal asother automobile dealerships.

Because the automobilesare sold at wholesale prices,Seven Lakes Auto Wholesaledoes not provide financing,but financing is availablethrough military finance,Basic Finance, SandhillsFinance, or upon approvalfrom the buyer’s own bank.

Culler tries to keep all auto-mobiles under the low price

Seven Lakes Bap t i s tChurch recently added a newmember to their leadershipteam – Zach Jones – as thenew Praise Team Leader.

Zach Jones and his familymoved to Seven Lakes fromRaleigh just months ago,after Pastor Chris Hraboskynotified him about an avail-able position. After meetingwith Pastor Hrabosky andStudent Pastor , TravisBryant, Jones knew he could-n’t feel more at home.

“Chris and Travis are dif-ferent [from me],” Jones said,explaining that he had finallyfound the environment hewas looking for. “They havedifferent backgrounds, butthe same morals. They’removing in the same directionas me.”

Jones thought the oppor-tunity was too good to betrue.

He and his wife were ableto attend a church serviceand experience what a serviceat Seven Lakes Baptist feltlike as a first-timer.

“We loved the church andfelt at home immediately,”he said. “It’s a pleasure tobe here.”

The atmosphere of the con-gregation was important toJones. He wanted a friendly,encouraging environmentwhere he could get excitedabout bringing people. For-

tunately, Seven Lakes Baptistwas exactly what he waslooking for.

“Everyone is friendly, andthe families are encouraging,”he said.

Jones had previously beeninterviewing with otherchurches, but all possibleopportunities seemed to fallthrough.

“Nothing worked out,” hesaid. “So, I decided to trustGod and wait.”

Pastor Hrabosky lookedover Jones’ resumé in Augustand sent him an email duringthe fall concerning the posi-tion and the possibility ofbringing the Jones family toSeven Lakes.

Since his arrival at thechurch, Jones has been suc-cessfully helping the churchimplement the "small group"strategy, as well as fulfillingPraise Team needs.

"Small groups" are awaythat some churches withlarge congregations createmore intimate groupings ofadult members for study andworship. Seven Lakes Bap-tist’s small groups includefive to seven families, whomeet on Sunday mornings.

Jones was raised in a non-denominational church whichutilized small groups. As aresult, he gained experienceand knowledge about workingwith small groups and wasable to help Seven LakesBaptist transition to using

small groups.“We want to free them to

be the church,” Jones said.Jones served with a num-

ber of different churches,including Lee Pentecostal,Roanoke Church, and NorthWake Church, which hehelped to establish. Throughthose experiences, he learnedthe dynamics of churchesand small groups.

During this time, Jonesalso worked on his education.He obtained a degree in

music from Lee University,a private Christian universityin Tennessee before attendingseminary. He is currentlyworking on his PhD in wor-ship and theology.

Jones was particularlyattracted to Seven Lakes Bap-tist's motto: “The church hasleft the building.” It supportedthe idea of showing othersGod’s love outside of the fourwalls of the church build-ing.

“A lot of people think it’sabout believing in Jesus andgoing to church Sundaymornings,” Jones said. “Here,families pray with you whilegoing through rough times.

They love me and my familyas well.”

Jones enjoys playing dif-ferent instruments and cre-ating music for Sunday morn-ing worship. But his favoritepart is the congregation andthe worship.

[They’re] so encouragingand accepting; I get to dowhat I love every day,” Jonessaid. “Leading worship is notjust about music knowledge,but where it’s taking themtheologically.”

Jones isn’t the only one inhis family who is interestedin music. His wife, Terra, isa percussionist, and his three

On Sunday, February 14,the Rev. W. Dudley Crawford,pastor of West End Presby-terian Church for twenty-two years, was named PastorEmeritus recognizing hiswork and tenure at West EndPresbyterian Church.

Elder Bill Price spoke aboutthe many accomplishmentsReverend Crawford had dur-ing his years of service. A

framed copy of the resolutionapproved by the Session waspresented to Rev. Crawford.

An historical booklet writtenas part of the 2012 Centen-nial Celebration noted thatin the late 1970s that asdevelopment began in theSeven Lakes communitymany retirees came to thearea from the northeast andmidwest.

The calling of Rev. Crawfordas pastor in 1983 was the

beginning of an era of expan-sion for the church with amembership of 500 by theyear 2000. These new mem-bers along with their WestEnd neighbors brought a richheritage and diversity to thelife of the church.

Rev. Crawford's enthusiasmand energy brought aboutan expansion of staff, pro-grams and facilities. Withthe addition of a Director ofMusic and Education, theChristian Education programexpanded beyond Sundaymorning classes to a weeklyafter school program for ele-mentary children and anactive youth group.

Mission work became afocus as youth and subse-quent adult teams have trav-eled many times to Chetumal,Mexico to work on the con-struction of a church campuslocated there. A local effort,Tuesday Tutoring, was ini-tiated to help Hispanic chil-dren at West End ElementarySchool. The church joined

the Family Promise networkof churches providing foodand shelter to homeless fam-ilies in Moore County.

All these programs werestarted during Rev. Craw-ford's tenure and are still inplace today. The significantgrowth in membership at thechurch resulted in an expan-

sion of facilities. In 1993,the sanctuary, built in 1922,was enlarged and an educa-tion and administrative wingwas added. Seven years later,a large activity center wasbuilt. It was renamed laterthe Crawford Center in honorof Rev. Dudley Crawford'stenure and work for 22 years.

Seven Lakes South residentFrankie Hatfield won thirdplace at the 2015 NC StateFair with her quilt “Jazzili-cious.”

Hatfield began quilting tenyears ago as a hobby. Shewent to Fayetteville in searchof a serger, a device used infinishing off ends of materialso they don’t fray. Instead,she and her husband founda computerized electronicembroidery machine.

Her husband was fascinat-ed and urged her to get themachine.

“You could say he talkedme into it,” she said.

Although no one from herfamily did embroidery, hermother and grandmother-in-law both quilted by hand.In fact, her grandmother-in-

law gave her a quilt that hadbeen made using cloth fromold feed sacks, cloth sacksused to transport livestockfeed or ingredients such asflour.

When Hatfield received thequilt, it seemed unfinished.After she took up quiltingherself, she was able to makethe necessary finishing touch-es to the quilt that had been

passed down to her.Hatfield set to work learning

how to use her new machine.Her first quilt was one withbutterflies.

“[I thought] ‘I like butterflies;I’ll make this quilt,’” she said.

Over the past ten years,Hatfield has managed tomake fourteen quilts, includ-ing one for each of her sevengrandchildren and three

great-grandchildren.Her most recent completed

quilt is “Jazzilicious” in which

she did appliqué embroidery,a type of embroidery which

incorporates layers of fabricinto the design.

Hatfield began the quilt inearly 2015, and after com-pleting the appliqué embroi-dery, her friend Cathy Kirk,

the Quilting Cowgirl in Cary,quilted the piece. Kirk thenconvinced Hartfield to enterthe quilt in the State Fair inOctober.

Not only did Hatfield winthird place in her division,

but she also won the CapitalQuiliters Guild Golden NeedleAward, an award signifyingthat her quilt was the judges’choice out of more than ahundred quilts that wereentered. Her “Jazzilicious”hung in the “Best in Show”area at the fair.

The quilt design comes fromSarah Vedeler Designs. Hat-field was first introduced tothis design when attendingan all-day quilting class withwell-known designer, SarahVedeler, at Elegant Stitchesin Cary.

Hatfield believed she wasthe worst in the class; and,when they asked if she wouldcomplete the design, heranswer was no.

However, she worked outthe design at her home anddecided to give it her besteffort to complete the design.

“I always pick the hardestproject,” she said.

After many months andmuch determination, a mas-terpiece was made.

Hatfield made sure to notifythe Elegant Stitches that shedid, in fact, complete the“Jazzilicious” design. ElegantStitches was thrilled andinformed her that, to theirknowledge, she was the onlyone from her class who hadfully completed the design.

Although Hatfield is a firstgeneration embroiderer, herfamily supports her work,making requests for quiltsfor their homes.

Hatfield has even made aquilt for her daughter-in-law’s California King size bedat her request. No matterhow big the project, she fin-ishes what she begins.

“It becomes a challenge,”

she said.Hatfield’s current project

is making a King/Queen sizequilt for her granddaugh-daughter, who was marriedin October. This quilt willhave embroidered flowersincorporating purple, thecolor from her wedding.

She hopes to enter the quilt,as well as her “Jazzilicious”quilt, in this year’s local quiltfair.
