Hurrah! I am reviving this blog and have a good reason to commit time to it. Currently, I am in a masters of education in literacy program. One of this summer's courses is on technology. We've been given an assignment to create a blog during this course and to make regular posts on it. I've received permission from my professors to use this blog for my assignment instead of creating a new blog. They want us to blog on something we are passionate about, and this blog fits in that category perfectly!
One of my plans for this page includes interviewing my mom and posting some videos of those interviews. She was five years old when the quilt was created and she remembers many of the women who contributed to the quilt. Another step I would like to make is to post about this blog on some genealogy related sites, so I can let more Christian County, Missouri researchers know about this blog. I would appreciate contributions from other researchers, such as photographs, Christian County related stories about the women who contributed to the quilt, facts about their families, etc.
I would love to hear your comments and get input on this blog to make it better! Keep coming back!

This is so interesting Mary. It's so neat to learn the stories behind a quilt. My husband recently did some design work for a quilt collector. We were able to go to the quilt show in Elgin and even got a book with beautiful pictures of all the quilts displayed. I am in awe of people who have the skill to make a quilt!
