I was given a quilt made by members of a church where my grandfather was pastor. It was a friendship quilt given to my grandmother signed by each member of the Dorcas Society ladies when they went to another church. I looked up the church which was no more. So I contacted the historical society in the town and they were thrilled. They made a ceremony of the donation and had grandchildren of the signers at the gathering. It was a wonderful time with stories of grandparents and parents.
