Yesterday, I was at Schowalter Villa in Hesston with co-worker Chad Frey as we were covering Dwight Roth’s reception for a national recognition he received.
On my way into the chapel where the reception was, I spotted a lady under bright lights hand-quilting a quilt.
So, on my way out, I had to stop and snap a few photos of her in action. She said her name was Hettie Conrad, and she and Sunny Hong and Mary Hershberger all hand-quilt at Schowalter Villa for money.
Just thought I’d share a photo of her with you. She said if anyone is interested in having a quilt hand-quilted, they can call Schowalter Villa in Hesston.
I don’t know about you, but quilting always catches my eye, as it did in this particular instance. If I’m watching a movie and there’s a quilt in a scene, I find myself checking out the quilt or yelling, “Hey, a quilt!”
I love quilts. Until next time, happy quilting!
