An Old Friend

I had guild tonight. The speaker was an old friend of mine. She taught classes at a local quilt shop that I used to frequent. The shop has been closed for quite a few years and I haven't seen her since then. I am glad to say, she not only hasn't given up quilting, but she has found a niche for herself in civil war quilts. She is extremely informed regarding the history of the civil war and the part that quilts played in it. She had wonderful examples of reproduction fabrics from that era. Her quilts were more utilitarian in nature, which is what was made during that time frame. She gave a wonderful presentation and it was great to visit with an old friend.
