    Other notes:
    This was really the beginning. The start of my quilting experience. Kay Coffin talked me into joining the Chambly quilting group in 1996. The instructors, Jo Schneider and Eolith Gibbons, were just starting a new project, this sampler. A very good learning tool but i got bogged down on colours and made another quilt in the between with determination it is now finished . Evelyn Carpenter is from Indiana. quilted in florida
