This is a difficult post to make, but not in a bad way! Today was so fantastic that I cannot figure out just WHAT to post! Today, we had the pleasure of hearing from the very talented Edith Younger Edmunds! At 101, I guess you could say she's seen a lot and done a lot. She is a living history book, and the stories she told us today about not only her quilting experiences but also her life experiences were something we won't soon forget! Having grown up in the country myself, surrounded by strong women who kept the home fires burning, her stories took me back to earlier, simpler times, in which recycling and repurposing just weren't talked about, they were an everyday part of life, as Amy Edmunds, Edith's daughter, pointed out today.
This is a day I will cherish forever. When Robert Crocker built Acorn Hill Lodge, I believe days like this were exactly what he had in mind ... people coming together, young and old alike, sharing common interests and, as for today, a love of working with one's own hands and the art of quilt-making💚
Here I go ... trying to select the best videos from today. And, yes, we've already spoken about a follow-up, perhaps even a quilting retreat🙂 So stay tuned, Lynchburg!
OK. So, apparently, I'm not able to choose multiple videos. So be sure to check out some comments, too, as I'll try to post more there.
