1997 Antioch III Ward Relief Society Friendship quilt found in closet at the Rio Grande chapel

This quilt was made in 1997 by the Antioch III Ward Relief Society.  We are now the Antioch II ward as a few yeaars ago we were combined with Antioch II Ward and had a name change.  Bishop Ronald Hawkins was bishop of both wards Antioch III and Antioch II.  He was bishop wat the time of the change.

Martha Fox, the Relief Society President in the Antioch I Ward, gave this friendship quilt to me at the Stake Relief Society Conference on Thursday evening, January 25, 2018.  She had found it in one of the closets at the Rio Grande Building when she was cleaning it out.  She felt Antioch II Ward should have it.  The quilt was made in 1997 according to the signature of Cecila Mecham who put '97 under her signature on her block.  It has been fun to have other members of the ward help me identify blocks with only initials on them.  I have posted the blocks individually with the name of as many of the individuals who made them as can be identify.  Lots of memories for me in one small quilt. 
The quilt is 41" X 36" in size and consists of 42 blocks.
