One of the many events going on in McBride’s Pioneer Days was the annual quilt show. a spectrum of dazzling colors from all of the quilts filled the room, but I of course zeroed in to the two quilts Joan had on show. This was her first year at the show and she had a finished quilt she called “Minnie’s Scraps” (made up of pieces from shirts, skirts, and blankets originating from my family) hanging on display, while she demonstrated her hand-quilting on the postage stamp quilt she had been working on.
All of the other quilts on display were machine-quilted, which seems to be the modern trend, but I am happy that Joan has been doing it the old fashioned, tedious, finger-puncturing, hand-quilting way.
