What Other Quilters
Say About VIRGINIA FRY
|
Virginia is an amazing woman. Not only is she an avid quilter, but also a wonderful seamstress, homemaker, entertainer, cook, gardener and antique collector--to mention just a few of her interests. I can't think of anything she does not know how to sew. Nothing is too much for her. She has made an unspecified number of baby quilts, wall hangings, and bed quilts which she has donated or given away. She is very active in her church and even with all she accomplishes, she still has time to help others. She is interested in learning everything she can in life and packs as much as humanly possible into her days.

Virginia is such a good friend that it is difficult to know what to say. She is kind and generous--and loads of fun! Most FCQ members know that she is one of our best hand quilters. She does more than her share in designing our raffle quilts, making door prizes, giving patterns and directions to all who ask, and in general, helping wherever she is needed.
Quilting aside, I have always been impressed with her other talents as well. Virginia is a great cook. She is always baking and giving samples to her friends. She and Cal have designed, planted, and maintained a lovely flower garden and fish pond in back of their home. They also have large vegetable garden.
Finally, on a personal basis, I have always admired Virginia for her ability to enjoy life to the fullest. She was a single mom while her children were growing up and at the same time, she had a full-time job. She is good to her family in many ways; her 90 year-old father still comes for dinner at least once a week.

I met Virginia in 1989 when I joined Faithful Circle and we've been friends ever since. I recognized from the beginning she was an extremely talented quilter and artist. We both share the love of quilting and art. She’s proud of her children and grandchildren, and they are talented as well.
Virginia is always willing to share her knowledge and help out where and when she’s needed. If you've been around Virginia for any length of time, you know she's generous with everyone who comes into her life. We’ve shared quilting stories and life stories—that’s what friends do. Faithful Circle is lucky to have her as a member, and I’m privileged to count her as my friend.
