longtime BBR
homeowner and member of
BBR’s “Peggy’s Pin Pals,”
who passed away this year.
Marti was a prolific master
quilter, producing over 70
quilts in her last years.
All quilts on display at the
Lodge this July will be those
made by Marti, in honor of
her contributions to the Black
Butte Ranch quilting group.
Kufchack died last March,
and quilt group member Judi
Benson told The Nugget, “We
decided we wanted to honor
her this year by having her
work displayed for the month
of July in the Lodge.”
