The Native American star quilt display is on honor of Jerry Belgarde who left us this year, she is the reason I wrote the book Montana Star quilts and that I have such a large collection of star quilts to display. Star quilts are to honor and comfort, my best dog Lulu left me this year with in days of Jerry, Several other of my friends have lost loved ones, best dogs and are loosing some one very loved -- so Quilts on Main Street is to honor them.
Thanks to our sponsors Bev Pickett, Virginia Cochran, Opportunity Bank and Shalon Hastings of The Hub Tacodelsol for helping to make this happen and Kevin Herrin from All Wood Designs for getting the display arbors together at the last minute.
