Southern Region Meets

Southern Region IEAFCS met with Joyce Pyatt recently. The group enjoyed catching up on Extension news, discussion of insurance and benefits changes, and a delicious lunch. Thanks to Joyce and Milly Kaiser, and Joyce's husband, Paul, for hosting.

After lunch Flossine Schrader presented a very interesting program on Quilts and their role in the communications of the Underground Railroad. Every design meant something whether it was a bears paw, a crossroads, or the drunkards path. Flossine had over a dozen quilt blocks to illustrate her talking points. Here is a sample of most of them.

Flossine also showed many quilts she has made from scraps and remnants. They are now beautiful creations. Photos of these will be in a future blog.

Those attending the meeting were Janet Burnett, Mary Lou Garbe, Joy Richey, Milly Kaiser, Joyce Pyatt, and Ruby Lingle. Milly's sister, Kathy, was also a guest.
