Default Virginia Avery passed away Sept. 8th

Don't know if the rest of you saw this news but Jinny Avery passed away yesterday, Sept. 8th. She was not quite 100 years old. Wow! She was quite the innovative quilter and garment maker. The Quilt Show (thequiltshow.com) has a free to all video of a visit by Alex and Ricky when she was given their Legend award back in 2007. What an inspiration she is/was! I hope I can grow up to make jackets that are 1/10th as beautiful as hers ... but I had better hurry. Rest in Peace under a beautiful quilt, Jinny.
