I went to a quilt show & it was about slavery. This is 2 quilts she made called Lilly of the Valley & Lilly of the Fields. One is a heart quilt she made for a church. The last one was very special it is names, in gold thread,of slaves that was tortured & killed. she did all of the research on them. had 2 nuses (sp) at the top. I couldn't get real close for pics. It was very touching to hear & see the quilts with so much meaning.

The second quilt is just beautiful, isn't it? I love that.

And, wow, I keep staring at the last one. It's hard to comprehend all of those names and everything they went through. Very, very touching.
