Wandering Foot Quilt Guild  

FEBRUARY 24 MEETING - DON BELD IS GUEST SPEAKER

Don is a historian, quilt collector and a quilt maker and designer.  He hand pieces and hand quilts.  He loves quilts that have a story to tell.  His special interest is Civil War quilts.  Don started “The Home of the Brave Quilts”; a project that makes Civil War reproduction quilts to be given to the families of our fallen Service personnel, who served primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The pattern of these quilts is based on the only Civil War soldier’s quilt on public display, in the A.K. Smiley Library's Lincoln Memorial Shrine Museum in Redlands.  This quilt is one of only five know to have survived out of the original 250,000.


Remember to do your Spring cleaning early this year. Our Yard Sale will be held at the Church Hall on March 24.  It will start in the afternoon on that day and continue through our meeting time.
