Nature scenes embroidery on quilt

Learned that you should always bring a picture of the quilt maker.

George Shaffers's heritage quilt.


Marlene Siepel, shows an "ugly" utility quilt that she saved from dirt & mildew by washing with Woolite in a tub using her feet to squish out the dirt, then dried by spreading it out on a sheet in the yard (but not too long in the sun!)  Never machine wash or dry clean a heritage quilt because the harsh treatment could break the threads. Assisting in holding up quilts is tall Paul Durham.


Pat Durham won the door prize quilt hand pieced by former residents of the Sunny Quilters at Sunshine Haven nursing home in Lordsburg, NM, and machine quilted by volunteers.
