Jeff Kessler has a good story about the Wilkinson Homestead in this week’s issue of the Antrim County News. (He did not have this photo of the WHHS quilt . . . . It’s a Torch Lake Views exclusive.) I’d give you a link to the story, but it’s not posted on the ACN website yet.* I’ll see if I can persuade Hadley Robinson to put it up. Yo! Hadley! Inquiring minds want to know! That should do it.
*Update 2-14-08: The story is posted at Wilkinson . . . continues making improvements. Thanks Hadley! 😉
As long as we’re on the subject, there’s still time to order geraniums – the deadline is February 15 and the order form is on the Wilkinson page over on the right under Community Organizations.

That’s a work of art, tell us more, is each house identifiable, ‘for real’

Thanks, Mrs. Uhdd – I’m glad you liked the quilt. The central image is the Wilkinson House. Then there’s a border of stylized old houses. The buildings in the outside layer are real and identifiable, although some (like the old schoolhouse) are no longer with us.
We should give credit to the quilters: Sylvia Walworth, Nita Bingley, Debra Cannon, Lyn Dee Davis, Jamie Endicott, Judy Ettema, Diana Hein, Kay Harper, Georgina Kesterson, Donna Klinefelter, Marcie Klove, Judy Kulka, Donna Miller, Lois Pierson, Charlene Rogers, and Marcia Waara.
