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!

What a lovely history and a most beautiful quilt!

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 -

And you are right, that it was such a treasure in that travel and visits were not so easy as today. Treasure it! Thanks for sharing.

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.

What a fun thread I've stumbled upon here. I live about 30 miles from Elwood and recognize some of those family names. What a treasure you have!

How wonderful to have the cover and know the history. Thanks for sharing your treasure. The embroidery is marvelous.
