Calif. I can still see her "ripping" strips - lights and darks for her famous log cabin in a day quilt. Her books then were typed and I still have it. Would love her tribute to the first ladies book to add to my collection. I would join Michelle Obama's bandwagon to curb obesity.<br /><br />Terryterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189795590208989901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442469011694228793.post-45154543427886402802012-03-26T06:24:25.188-07:002012-03-26T06:24:25.188-07:00This is beginning to feel like my year of the samp...This is beginning to feel like my year of the sampler quilts ... and this one is a beauty.
