Carol Gassman is the only Pioneer Quilters founder who is still local and an active member. She is our featured speaker on Friday (1:30) at our 50th Anniversary Celebration. Be sure to come in time to hear her tell about Pioneer Quilters in the beginning and over the years!
About ten years ago, I wrote a blog entry about the porthole quilt Carol made from the blocks other members made for her in a friendship block exchange. Click on the underlined words to be taken to that piece.
Martha Allwander was also a Pioneer Quilters founder and she lived to be over 100! She was still able to join us on occasion in some of those last years, and it was so nice to see her. Martha was extremely beloved, and so generous with the blocks she loved to piece, and often would donate several dozen to us--setting off a "Martha's Blocks Bidding War" amongst members. I wrote a blog entry about her too!
Do take the opportunity to scroll back through our decade of blog entries. Even if you've read them before. I wrote them, and many of them seem new information to me!
