Whizzie E.

Whizzie E. proudly shows the memory quilt
created by the Loose Threads in memory of Whizzie's husband and Dorothy E.'s father, Dick.
Barb S., Becky G., Carolyn S., Debbi D., Kay V., Linda S., Pat M., Talese S., and Tina J. all collaborated to make this beautiful quilt for Whizzie and Dorothy E. Some of the quilt was even made down in Texas, where Kay V. is currently living. Dick's hobby was building furniture, tables, 4 poster beds, bookshelves, cabinets. We have many treasures. He spent so much time in the garage with his tools, but this will be our reminder of his love of tools. It will be displayed inside in a place of honor. Thank you Loose Threads.
