Pris was kind enough to give a lovely baby quilt to Liz when she moved east to be with her daughter and granddaughter. Here is a thank-you note from Liz:
Dear Plymouth Quilt-makers,
Shamefully belated but most sincere thanks for the beautiful quilt. It is absolutely gorgeous and a very welcome reminder (not that we need one—we think of and miss Plymouth constantly) of what we will always think of as our foundational church. The quilt arrived just before our Australian grandchildren arrived for a prolonged visit, and it was a wonderful base for the two older children (4 and 6) to play with the baby: when on the quilt they had to observe the special baby rules.
The church I'm attending here (founded in 1661) has hanging in the sanctuary a quilt its quilt-makers made for a departing minister in the 1950s, returned by the minister’s children following the death of his widow. I like the sense of connection you provide with “my” [not really—I’m still a Plymouth member] new church and Plymouth.
Fondly,
Liz Twiss
