An Absolutely “Wow” Day
Today, I had the distinct privilege of reading two, 5 year diaries of the woman whose life I have been intently studying since March. Just when I thought that I might be getting close to being ready to create a Bibliography, I realize that I have more to do. This document is not officially a report any more. Rather, it is an “e-book,” as the text exceeds 100 pages, in addition to the several hundred pages plus of “quilt charts.” Reading the diaries elicited a verbal “Wow” on quite a few occasions.
Entries mention when she created various charts, and where she gave quilt, bird, and Bible lectures, and other details that are just too extraordinary for words.
I am the recipient of additional photos of Ellen Webster’s family members, and they are wonderful in a way that only old photos can be.
This will be a continuing marathon for me to collate all the new information and to wind down toward completing this project. I can not remember when I have had so much fun with a research project, and I am eagerly anticipating everyone’s enjoyment of the final product.

My thanks to the remarkable woman who is researching it and presenting it for us all to learn from and to enjoy.
