Turning 20 Quilt Pattern

I have had several people ask what pattern did Gary use. Well it was the Turning 20 pattern by Tricia Cribbs.

My all time favorite pottery is the face jugs.  We have a man here in Locust Fork, Alabama who makes these.  I am ashamed to say I have never been to his business because frankly I am timid when it comes to going somewhere the first time. I dont know why I am like that. [...]
