I volunteered to machine quilt this very special gift....over 90 hearts were made by friends and family....it was wonderful to be a part of all this LOVE !
The heart quilt was hanging in the entrance when Gerry arrived and she was so surprised by the quilt and how many people came to celebrate...she is so very sweet and loved by many !!
Gerry was a Home Ec teacher...she made a lot of clothes and home dec but did not start quilting until 1985....she displayed several of her quilts at her party.....and served a delicious lunch of petit sandwiches, fresh fruit and yummy desserts...
