I learned from a scattered village of women. My mother, the excellent seamstress who never erred matching material with pattern. Mrs. Burley the neighbor who inspired an admiration for crochet. Mrs. Bartnicki, the Scout leader who helped me learn stem stitch and others. Visiting my grandmother's dressmaker in Indiana, Mrs. Cutter, and her awesome fabrics. Marguerite Ikies' pattern book. The wonderful members of the Extension Homemakers' Club who showed me their quilts and especially Dolley Metheny who taught me how to 'frame' top, batting and backing.

But I have learned the most right here. Thank you, quilters.
