At left: One of the exhibitions at the Pickford Historical Society's June 13 and June 14 quilt show was this creation by Verna Zwolinski of Pickford, a selftaught quilter who never took a quilting class, and drew her own, freehand pattern templates on cardboard and plastic lids from food containers. Family members estimate she made more than 200 quilts between the ages of 57 and 65.
