The Friendship Quilt

     In the fall of 2010, the Forestville, (Wisconsin) library received a very special gift.  A quilt top was found by Marge Miller of Portage, Wisconsin.  The quilt was very unique and she new she had found a treasure.  She sent the quilt top to our local library so it could be displayed in the place where it was made.  After all this time, the quilt found it's way home.  I was lucky enough to be contacted with this information, and wrote an article for our local paper, The Door County Advocate.  While writing this article, I realized that this was much more than a quilt.  I imagined that there must be many wonderful stories about the ladies who created it.  I also wanted to know more about the quilt itself.  Why was it made, are there others, and why wasn't it finished?  I decided to write a book about the quilters and the quilt.  This will take a lot of research and I can't wait to get started.  The ladies names are listed, and I will be adding lots of pictures.  If you, or someone you know knows anything about this quilt or any of the quilters, please forward them to this site.  I can't wait to hear all the stories and to find out about the rich history surrounding this quilt. Visit the site often to see how this project progresses.
