F.I.S.T. Leather Quilt addition:
We are placing our patch on The Leather Quilt and it will be the 200th square on the Leather Quilt.
Here is the history that will be added with the patch: "The quilt panel was originally purchased from Dave of Leather Masters in December of 2015. Nancy Thompson of Lifestyle Sewing added our patch to the panel. At SouthEast LeatherFest 2023 a contingent of FIST members/supporters gather to add the panel to the quilt in celebration of our 30th year! The panel carries F.I.S.T.s original backpatch with the Baltimore/Washington DC location indicator. The club has since opened up membership to the entire country. FIST was started in 1993 as a direct result of the March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights in 1993 where a small group of leatherwomen decided there was a need for a women's leather/BDSM educational and social backpatch group in the area. That need still exists.
Thank you to Lady Catherine and Jack for getting this done after the project stalled in 2013.
Member Happenings
One of our full patch members, Scarlett successfully ran for Ms SouthEast LeatherFest in Atlanta. She's going to be traveling and hopes to meet a ton of folx in her title year. Way to go! Have a great title year! We wish her well!
We had a blast at IMsLBB! We fed a few hundred women, flirted, socialized, and had a blast! It was definitely a FIST event as Jess danced! It was fabulous fun and definitely put on a spread.
FIST needs to thank Sarah, Jack, Lady Catherine, Scarlett, Glenda, Jess, Lux (Pledge), Tori (Pledge) Stella, Pandoura, and Burke for making the event work from start to finish! Thank you for doing all the things to make this event a success. Thank you to Sarah H., Lady Catherine and Jack for underwriting the event.
