Thank You Laurie

Phyllis Paulo

All machine piecing & quilting. Laurie Gorton taught this class at the Quilt-In 2013. The central square was done with Laurie’s help.

Each woman in the study donated her 5″ square. I think there are 2 or 3 other quilts like this somewhere. The WHI (Women’s Health Initiative) 1995 – 2005. After the study concluded this quilt has been homeless. Anyone who can give it a home is welcomed to it.
