After the flood waters of the Red River receded
came the Herculean task of cleaning up and putting lives back together.
Connie Selle started this wonderful quilt as a class project. It was
all basted and ready for quilting when the flood hit Connie's home.
During cleanup she decided to save this quilt- even though it was
a waterlogged mess at the time. She pulled out all the basting stitches,
threw out the batting and washed, and washed, and washed. And then
she passed it on to Monica Stallman to quilt. It's nice to know that
quilts (and quilters) can survive just about anything.
