DecemberRenelda Peldunas-Harter
Renelda has been a quilter since 1982 when she bought a Simplicity pattern for a Log Cabin Quilt, made the quilt and was hooked. Her sewing machine and fabric collection moved 7 time in the next 20 years as she and her husband served in the Army.
After retiring from the military, Renelda decided to put all her experience as a strategic planner to good use by designing quilts and writing the quilt book “From Ensign’s Bars to Colonel’s Stars” Honoring Those Who Serve. Her book offers a glimpse into military history and trivia, as well as her experiences as an Army officer. However, the primary reason for writing the book is to honor her fellow service members. Renelda is a teacher and pattern designer in addition to being the Quilt Challenge Exhibit Curator for the Mason Dixon Quilt Professional Network (MDQPN). When not designing military themed quilts, Bargello quilts or fending off her fixation, she is a docent at the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Human Origin in Washington DC an is treasurer of the Loudoun Breast Health Network a 501 (c) (3) non-profit assisting women and families in Loudoun County, VA with breast cancer. After 3 deployments and over 27 years on active duty and as a reservist, Renalda retired from the military with the rank full colonel and lives with her husband Bill, also a retired military officer in norther Virginia. They have two grown sons. |
