What a wonderful story and a gorgeous quilt! I really am glad you shared both with us. I just imagined all those devoted friends being together in a quilt group sending off their friend to a new neighborhood in Indiana. Friendship everlasting!

Great quilt and memory. Be sure to write it down and keep for your next generation. This is something that you do not want to lose. Special.

What a treasure! Have you researched any of the names - to look up the families heritage -

Perhaps sad that we don't have their first names, but that too is part of the history. Something to share with our granddaughters about how far we have come.
