Della in her Old Glory Quilters of Parke County T-shirt. Della dedicated a lot of time contributing to the preparation of our quilts.

I met Della when I joined the Old Glory Quilters of Parke County. I take a lot of pictures of our group and since Della was so tall she always laughed as I sent her to the back row. I'll miss you Della.
