Quilters

My mother was a quilter, her mother and  her grandmother were as well.

Quilts are not just  folksy ways to keep warm on a winter's night, they are
handcrafted in patterns from scraps of  cloth.  In the case of  my family,
many of the scraps came from the leftovers from hand-made garments for the
family.  In one of my Mom's quilts there's a patch that came from some of my
pajamas  made when I was five.

That background made me want to go see a production of "The Quilters" at the
NSU  Summer Theatre.   These are usually well worth the time and the modest
admission, and this was more than that.  I snapped a few pictures of the
show.  It depicts through song, dance and not a few moving dramatic scenes,
childbirth, prairie fires,  marriage, and most all  glimpses of  the lives
of the women who shaped a great portion of our country.

Five pictures begin here:
