Quilters brings out treasures and stories

The squares came from Allyn Burke, a local Placerville woman who inherited them from her grandmother. Ostensibly 100 - 110 years old. Design is the "log cabin" patchwork. Delicate, beautiful pieces that will be reconstructed by a fabric conservator and probably displayed in local museum, as it will be too delicate to be displayed on stage. This is the kind of gold nugget that has been coming forth during this pre-show process.
