The guild wanted to put out the 2018 calendar early so tourists could buy them in the summer and, most importantly, Pasternak said, “we’ll be able to look at it for two years instead of one.” “I got to go to a few photo shoots and it was a hoot. “It’s a creative way to display the quilt guild’s work,” Pasternak said. For each month there is a beautifully pieced, mostly Sitka-themed creation with scenes from Harrigan Centennial Hall, the harbor and other Alaska Native designs made by quilters such as Curran, Megan Pasternak, Janine Holzman, Tracy Jacobsen, DJ Robidou and Lisa Moore. The real stars of the calendar are the quilts, though. “I guess it’s different when they see the finished product.” “After the calendars came out I’ve had a lot of men come and tell me they want to be in the next one,” Curran said. Several of them are husbands of women in the quilt guild. She said at first it was hard to get men to agree to being models. “I had to get his abs in there,” she said.

The model on the front of the calendar, physical therapist Tyler Gilson, needed some special coaching.Ĭurran kept telling him he had to move the quilt lower. “He pulled over and he laughed, but he said he had to hit the gym first,” Curran said. She was able to get Moore on board when he drove by the location of another photo shoot as it was under way. One model had no problem undressing on the spot and took off everything except his underwear, she said. “I was so nervous I could hardly get any words out.” “Tommy Joseph, his was the most intimidating, asking him to take his shirt off for a picture,” Curran said. “We have sold half our calendars already and we haven’t even hit tourist season yet,” Curran said.Ĭurating the calendar was an adventure in itself, she said. The calendars have been out for just a couple of weeks and they’re selling like hotcakes. “I’m surprised they went along with it,” Curran said.

She thought, “‘I’ll bet if we did one of those calendars we could raise quite a bit of funds,” she said.
