She had served the Guild as an early officer and long me supporter. Pat taught classes for the Guild and cheerfully served in many ways. She was well known for her love and preserva on of historic quilts. Their life stories fascinated her and she diligently researched the origins of her quilts. Pat inspired those who worked with her, took her classes and s tched with her. She will be greatly missed, but we can only imagine the conversa on around the eternal quil ng frame, as Pat joins our other members.

While other children played, she helped the ladies with the edges of their quilts; eventually sewing and quil ng on her own. I received a ny thimble for my 6th birthday, which I have now passed on to my granddaughter. In 1972, Pat started teaching sewing for the Singer Company and for Adult Educa- on Classes. When Iowa Quilters Guild started, she enthusias cally became a member within the first year. From , Patricia served as the guild s treasurer, and then was asked to assume the permanent posi on of Registered Agent, receiving all of the guild s official mail.
