I have read her story in your quilt book, and it is so fascinating to read of living in a different day and time. What amazes me is how elderly Adelia looks, but yet she was not all that old when she died. I have so enjoyed your book, and look forward to hearing more of her story.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.com
