This was the commemorative quilt for 100 years NCSDAR.
Each chapter provided one square. It has not
been displayed in many
 years, and we are fortunate enough to have
 it displayed here at the 114th
 NCSDAR State Conference.
Jean Myers, former regent of the
 Brunswick Town Chapter designed
the square for the quilt and
 asked a friend to sew the square
for the quilt pictured below.
