Honoring Women, One Stitch at a Time. Pat Pugrant, the designer and coordinator of the Breman Museum's Women of Valor Quilt programs, will be our feature presenter at the Tri-County Women's Connection luncheon, Wednesday, December 2nd at Monet's Café. Pat became involved with the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum in Atlanta when it opened in 1996. To date, she has designed two quilts in the Women of Valor series. The Legacy quilt represents women from 1850 to 1950, and the Women of Valor Chai quilt depicts women who made contributions to mankind in the 20th century. Pat's infectious enthusiasm will inspire and fascinate you as she shares these stories! Pat's main interests include applique, historical research, working with Holocaust survivors, and learning about peoples? lives. She previously had a career as a reading specialist, most recently with the Dekalb County School System. She and husband, Bob, divide their time between homes in Canton, GA and Blairsville. Pat's exciting presentation to us will be a tribute to 18 women who were advocates for social issues in the 20th century, and also role models for today's generation. You won't want to miss seeing and learning about these beautiful display quilts! Music for our program will be provided by Karen Pirie. In 2010, Karen, husband, John, and their two sons moved from Florida to Blairsville. John is store manager at Ingles in Hayesville, NC, and Karen is a stay at home Mom. Karen loves to paint, do woodwork, and sing. You will be captivated by her lovely voice! Linda Armstrong, our speaker, will share with us how she looked for fulfillment in life by having fun, but came up empty, in her presentation to us, "Life Not going the Way You Planned". She will show you how to smile, whatever your circumstances! Linda enjoys needle crafts, and is an avid reader. She is the proud Mom of two grown children, and Grandmother of six.
