"A Taste of Country"

“A Taste of Country” brings to mind fond memories of tying quilting knots alongside Grandma.

Pictured here is a hand tacked, patchwork quilt from the early 1920’s. It gently rests across a worn deacon’s bench from an old black church in Sandersville, Georgia. Indian corn is nestled in a sixty year old basket once used to gather vegetables. A well used rolling pin adds the final touch to the country grouping.
