ARCHIVES - DAVE LIEBER QUILT
Dave's Quilt

Dave Lieber is a newspaper columnist for the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Here's a picture of his original quilt full of  life's memories:

Last September 1997 it was decided that this old quilt was beyond any type of repair so our guild decided to replace the old with new and proceeded to make new squares to duplicate as close as possible the look of the old quilt.  I do not have digital pictures of this stage of the process but do have pictures of the final step - putting the binding on.
Dave got a chance to hold the quilt after we completed the binding.
and a chance to get under it.
This is part of the group that helped put the quilt together. Dave is down in front holding onto the new display box he received to keep his old quilt in. Of course he had the privilege of getting to sit on his own quilt!

Now for a side by side view of the old and the new:
Dave was there to video tape the binding process and get his quilt story - after all, he is a reporter. He is building a video of his quilt to air on his web site in early September, so be on the look out for it. The new quilt was officially presented to him at our guild meeting in July 98. Here he is telling us about the history of his quilt:

Dave was also presented with a bag to store his quilt in when not in use.
