A drawing will be held in late December 2022. The Aldrich Foundation is not a stranger to quilt auctions as early foundation members crafted one each year. We hope to have many of those original quilts back for a quilt show exhibit called "A Stitch in Time," August through November. https://www.bessstreeteraldrich.org/past-exhibit-example daily 0.75 2022-01-15 https://www.bessstreeteraldrich.org/journey-into-christmas daily 0.75 2022-02-04 https://www.bessstreeteraldrich.org/book-club-materials-1 daily 0.75 2023-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/1642071689674-QKMYXEQ5WXM8ZVZ1RVK0/A-Lantern-in-her-Hand.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/fa252a65-a49d-4cda-993d-c8b3d2635a22/151787.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/1642071689678-LCPSV3TAQND97MYGFL7P/Rim-of-Prairie.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/1642071689685-BVRVMRA6M7LLVAYVEX2X/Mother-Mason.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/1642071689705-79YQ006Q522QMKG0190Q/Spring-Came-on-Forever.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/6cd6cedc-eca0-4809-99e2-6be26b0dacea/The+Cutters.png Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/1642071689722-S6MJWTZ5ZO3KKHFGK5I5/Christmas.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/e82c50f6-ce23-41e6-a127-edc64863ea07/Drum+Goes+Dead.png Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/1642071689714-D68MIN2ZT2CS3CDWB13A/Lieutenants-Lady-OOP.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/b7d04dd7-363e-4917-be43-3135c80f1d0b/whitebirdcover.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/5e6a7cc7-df76-4947-86d6-9f404d1953b0/missbishopcover.jpg Book Club Materials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bessstreeteraldrich.org/external-links daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://www.bessstreeteraldrich.org/biography daily 0.75 2022-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/bd222322-811c-40f1-b5ca-b3c8e8a4b0cf/BSA+Portrait+300-469.jpg Biography Bess Streeter Aldrich https://www.bessstreeteraldrich.org/field-trips daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e006818e3e0e2e6c586507/8293f36f-78db-417b-817d-061430626a7a/BessPortrait.jpeg Adventurous Mrs. Aldrich - Instruction Sheet Available for Download!
