As we took our seats, I tugged at my friends' sleeve. "I need to meet whoever made those, if that person is here this morning."
My friend pointed a thumb over her shoulder. "She's sitting right behind us."
There was a church luncheon following worship but I immediately tackled the creator of the wallhangings and she took me on a tour of her quilts, telling me the stories behind each one. We barely made it to the luncheon while food was still available.
I asked her permission to share images of the quilts with you. I'm not going to share the stories--too much complex church history and particular individual's stories for the space that a blog allows. I'll let the quilts speak for themselves.
The quilts' creator, Carol Fielding of Austin, Texas.
