New Banner and Goals

The new banner was a painting we commissioned (local artist) for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It is 'the house on the hill' that I always talk about. Yes, that is the homestead. The red barn is the State Landmark - first court house. Two of our barns were dismantled the year before this was done - old post and beam Dutch - one resides at a museum in Vermont and the other is at our local museum (Old Stone Fort). The main house was an Inn for people attending court. It is one of the valley's/family's original homesteads. Yes, my ancestors were the founders of Schoharie Valley purchasing the 'land tract' from both the Queen of England and the Iroquois. Original maps list it as 'Vromans' Tract'.

The quilts in the foreground are special quilts that traveled the first year that my Mom was inducted into the Quilter's Hall of Fame - Catskill Region.

I have enjoyed being a member of the Charming group. Setting goals, encouraging each other, finding ways to make our quilting and lives less stressful.
