Bernice Chaney began making quilts when she was a girl, and now, at age 85, she still makes quilts. She holds the “Horn of Plenty” quilt, all beautifully hand-stitched. When last visited, Bernice was making a quilt for a grandchild. On each block, she was stitching a beautifully embroidered bird. Each bird is the State Bird of one of the United States of America. Since the U.S. has more states than blocks needed to make a quilt, she said she will embroider two of the State Birds on pillow covers. Photo on the left shows Bernice as a younger woman. 116 - (4149)
