Quilts show up in the most unusual places

I went to a wedding last week and there was a vintage friendship quilt hanging in the fellowship hall's hallway. It was very nicely framed and under glass so it couldn't be damaged by anyone passing by, and it was in a shady spot to avoid sun damage. The blocks were 12 inch album blocks done in all solids and set in a simple straight setting. All the blocks were signed with embroidery stitches and a few had little embroidered motifs (tiny birds or a small flower) added to the signature piece. I never did find a date on the quilt, but it was a nice surprise in my day. Debra in VA See my quilts at

My mother's church just celebrated their Centennial, and had a quilt made by one of the members to commemmorate it. I saw it in-progress, and it was really cool! My mom had dug up old pictures of pastors and the church itself from years and years ago, and each was photo-transferred to cloth, and added around the border of the quilt. I can't wait to see the finished product hanging in the church when I go to Indy this Christmas!
