Larry Cordle (A special note from Larry about the project)

You know, when I was a kid all families had quilts that their families made, it was just what people did. To have a quilt made for you, such as a double ring quilt common when a family member got married (it was often made a wed-ding gift) was a great honor..........my family was of course no different than any other Appalachian family farm folk.......they had a great pride in their small farms, their houses, their gardens their cooking their church & their faith in God.......when my mama passed away in May (2006) one of the first things I noticed was a quilt hang-ing on the back of a rocking chair in the living room of my mom & dad’s house at Blaine..........it is very interesting in that it was made in an old fashioned way, I believe it is called tacking........my grand-mother (Myrtle Bryant Martin) my mama's mom quilted it in the 1970's........what she did was have all the neighbors (well the women anyway, I'm not sure whether any men participated or not) sew their names on a patch of fabric that she gave them.....& indicate the year that it was done..........this was done over a 3 or 4 year period.....the quilt is what's known as a "friendship" quilt hence, getting all the squares embroidered with all her neighbors names and the dates.........it was 1976 our coun-try's bi-centennial so the quilt is red, white & blue.......also, it was made to raffle off to buy seats for the Cordell Freewill Baptist Church & they raised about 500 or 600 hundred dollars for the Church.......then after the lady who won the quilt in the raffle

died, her family sent it back to my grandmother & said their mother

so......my mom was a rural route mail carrier for 50 years & she took the squares around to all their neighbors who participated & brought them back to mamaw when the embroidery was done & they then tacked & quilted it I believe I am right about this, they were all members of the church there (The Cordell Freewill Baptist Church) & I'm just sure this was a

church project probably.....I'm kinda sketchy about the details I guess....anyway I'll try to shorten the story, that quilt (which my sister wanted & has in her home now) brings back such a flood childhood memories for me....I can remember the people's faces, what wonderful folks they were, the box that the patches were kept in until she got all the names from all her neighbors how fiercely independent & self suffi-cient they were....yet as the same time having the comfort of knowing that their neighbors had their backs & how they could always be counted on in times of crisis. ...Mamaw's quilt takes me back to a time like that, It really means so much to me, my sister & all of my family, really.....it represents the strength of neighbors and families & takes me back to a time now all but gone...of a far simpler time of life, when everyone I love was still alive....of Eastern Kentucky, what it means to me, where I was born

and, raised & so proud to be from and where I will return when this life ends to rest in … "The Fields of Home that I love so much…Thank you for asking me to be a part of this ..........just writing this short note about it though heart wrenching for me has in a way been therapeutic as well....take care & God bless............

Larry Cordle The Larry Cordle Family Quilt will be displayed at the Sun Pavilion on U.S. 23 at Louisa.

the needle back through the fabric

from below” ~ Herman Webb

in Butcher Hollow. The block

was painted by Norma Burchett and is displayed
