I remember one time she had gone to a quilt exhibit in my hometown of Meadville, PA to see an exhibit of NW Pennsylvania quilts documented in Crawford County and subsequently published in the book "Threads of Tradition Northwest Pennsylvania Quilts". I emailed her because I couldn't believe she had traveled all the way from the eastern shore to see this small exhibit. She said her rule was she would travel 50 miles to see one quilt, so traveling all the way to NW PA to see this exhibit fit her criteria. What a treasure she was. I'll miss her too!

Each time I would run into her at a quilt event it was a wonderful time to catch up with an old friend. The miles, the time passed.........they never mattered. We always picked right up with chatting about our lives and our latest finds. We also had the special connection of The Staunch Family in New Bern. Dick Stauch had been John's camp counselor years ago and they had remained long time friends. Dick and I had just been talking about Cinda the week before when we saw each other at church. <br />What a treasure to have called Cinda my friend.

We communicated and I set a price, but when her check arrived, it was for four times what I had asked. She sent a note saying I had no idea of the collection's value and she was sending a more realistic amount. I was reminded of the old saying that character is what one does when no one is looking and was tremendously impressed with this lady.

I was sorry she was unable to attend seminar in MN where she was to serve on a panel of quilt collectors. There is a hole in the quilt world which no one can quite fill with her gone. I feel privileged to have met her and worked with her on the AQSG Board for three years. She was knowledgeable, fun, honest and giving.

Those of us who were lucky enough to meet with her regularly and travel with her occasionally would have to agree that the best Cinda stories will not appear in blogs or anywhere online but will be told in small groups around a bottle of wine or in the car on the way to a quilt exhibit. I never met a more forthright person who remained so beloved by all who knew her well. You could count on Cinda for her honest opinion at all times.<br />I will raise a toast to Cinda, for sure, she made a difference in my life! Her passion and confidence and bravery in the face of whatever negatives she encountered served as an example to all who knew her. Her pride in her family is well remembered. Her ability to cut through nonsense in a humorous manner will be part of our shared stories for many years.madgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679036230761807396.post-906603153561095912011-03-05T12:40:55.044-08:002011-03-05T12:40:55.044-08:00I "knew" Cinda only through a few email ...I "knew" Cinda only through a few email exchanges and her wonderful, wonderful descriptions of quilts.
