I visited with Merikay Waldvogel, Deb Rowden

and Virginia Gunn a few weeks ago. We had a wonderful time

exclaiming about details and design.

The edge of this quilt not only has a scalloped applique

but a cording inserted right into the edge. Dr. Gunn would

notice that right away. Look for the detail when you see the show.

Holly included regional German dress in red and green,

an ensemble from the collection donated by Felicitas Lampert,

an expert on traditional Germanic clothing.

Not all the quilts are red and green on white.

This Pennsylvania sampler is on blue.
