Jane Kirkpatrick was our speaker at Our Staff Enrichment Day. The subjet of her talk was about this group of "German Bethelites", and their settlement in Aurora Oregon, close to the border, between Washington and Oregon. It was a lot about the quilts, they made, but it was also history, of the fiction book, she also wrote about this group, called, "A Clearing in the Wilderness" which I also read.

This book uses quilts, crafts and arts from the Aurora colony to tell the story of the colony. I loved the photos and crafts. The way the author laid it out didn't work for me- but it may just be my personality didn't match her style.

I read this book in 2010 and re-read it before visiting the community of Aurora, OR, this May. It was great to hear the author talk about her writing and also to see many of the quilts pictured in this book. I love the fact that quilts can leave a legacy for future generations.
