Blue Name Quilt:
- about the quilt
My father Jack Fry won the quilt in the mid 1930s. He was just a little boy at the time. As I understand it, the quilt was a fund raising project. Folks could pay to have their name embroidered on a section, or groups could sponsor a full square. There are 17 names per block, and 20 blocks in the whole quilt. These are not all Methodist names, but names from throughout the community. Rich Farmer stopped by and he knew a lot of names on that quilt. He can tell quite a few really neat stories of our town's history!! Ann Fry Gordon
