"My block is made from material from the dresses I wore back then," she said. "Some of the material is repeated in other blocks, too," she said. There are 25 friendship blocks with eight being Mrs. Kathryn's family members. The other 17 blocks represent friends and neighbors in Golden Valley. Others honored on the quilt blocks are Estelle Murry, Lillian Hardin, Hazel Cash, Marigold Gettys, Eloise Melton, Delora Hardin, Valoria Toney, Mildred McCurry, Hattie Lee McCurry, Naney Brown, Leatrice Toney, Sue Campbell, Geneva Cash, Tennie Freeman, Lorene Jones, Blanch McCurry, Bertha Hardin, Louise Freeman, Faye Hardin, Janet Robbs, Ruby Murry, Mary Smith, Christine Gettys and Beadie Melton. Mrs. Kathryn was only a child when the quilting process started. "I don't have any memory of seeing this being made. I was just a little kid" she said. She turns 94 on August 11. When she was fi ve years old the family moved from their home in Alexander Mills in Forest City to Earl in Cleveland County. "I never lived in Golden Valley, but my family did," she said. She has fi ve grandfathers buried in the cemetery at First Broad Baptist Church. Mrs. Kathryn's grand- parents lived on Golden Valley Sunshine Road near Duncan's Creek Road and she remembers visiting them often during the summers. She said they attended church services, memorials, weddings and funerals at the First Broad Baptist Church. She also recalled fun times of corn shucking, peanut pickings, wheat thrashings and other community gatherings at her grandparents' homes, "that I have remembered all of my adult life," she said. Although never her home, Golden Valley was home to her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. "To me Golden Valley is hallowed ground and will always be a special place in my life," she said. "Many names on this quilt are familiar to me as neighbors and family. I wanted to see this quilt preserved and kept by someone who can keep it close to the people who are remembered on it and preserved for as long as possible." Recently while standing in the community club and with a wide golden smile, Mrs. Kathryn said, "a dream come true." An offi cial Friendship Quilt dedication will be held at the Golden Valley Community Club on August 21 at 7 p.m. at the regular pot luck supper. Mrs. Kathryn will be the special guest, said community club member Donna Petter. GREAT VALUE! GREAT VALUE!
