| Here's a picture of his
original quilt full of life's memories: |
| (You can click on the picture for
a larger view). Last September 1997 it was decided that this
old quilt was beyond any type of repair so our guild decided to replace
the old with new and |
 |
|
| proceeded to make new squares to
duplicate as close as possible the look of the old quilt. I do not
have digital pictures of this stage of the process but do have pictures
of the final step - putting the binding on. |

| Dave got a chance to hold the quilt
after we completed the binding. |

put the quilt together: |

As you can see, you will need to
click on the |
|
| picture to see what we really
look like!! Dave is down in front holding onto the new display box
he received to keep his old quilt in. Of course he had the privilege of
getting to sit on his own quilt! |

| Now for a side by side view of the
old and the new: |

 The
new quilt did not have the binding on at the time the picture was taken. |
|
|
|
|
| Dave was there to video tape
the binding process and get his quilt story - after all, he is a reporter.
He is building a video of his quilt to air on his web site in early September,
so be on the look out for it. |
|
|
|
| The new quilt was officially presented
to him at our guild meeting in July 98. Here he is telling us about the
history of his quilt: |

quilt in when not in use. |
