Blue Star quilts honor past guild members

The Nimble Thimble Quilt Guild put on its annual quilt show during this year’s A’ROR’N Days celebration.  Among the variety of quilts, a blue star could be seen pinned to some of them. This star designated quilts made by guild members who had passed away, some very recently.
