Ther was no piece of fabric in Terre Haute, Indiana that was safe from the scissors wielded by these ladies. I am sure they made 35 or 40 of them. My three sons used theirs to shreds! Such fond memories. That is what quilts are, aren't they-memory makers.
Loved your story. I think it is great when folks can have memories built around quilts. We need to hear more of them and hopefully with all the quilters now days, there can be books written about them years from now. Thanks for sharing your story!
