Thanks, Florence, for posting both those touching articles. There are still tears in my eyes for Inez.

I began quilting in 1985 as a member of the VA Star Quilt Guild of Fredericksburg. We had about 25 members then. They were very encouraging to me and taught me to overcome my mistakes. what a gift they gave me just by being quilters.

Twenty years later I have taught quilting for 18 years and try to spread the love to others.
