Quilts are not just folksy ways to keep warm on a winter's night, they are handcrafted in patterns from scraps of cloth. In the case of my family, many of the scraps came from the leftovers from hand-made garments for the family. In one of my Mom's quilts there's a patch that came from some of my pajamas made when I was five. That background made me want to go see a production of "The Quilters" at the NSU Summer Theatre. These are usually well worth the time and the modest admission, and this was more than that. I snapped a few pictures of the show. It depicts through song, dance and not a few moving dramatic scenes, childbirth, prairie fires, marriage, and most all glimpses of the lives of the women who shaped a great portion of our country.
