Baby Quilt for Rachel Tromley
 After eleven years, two quilting friends have been reunited and the quilt made for Rachel Tromley's baby has been delivered!
In 1992, while Rachel's husband, Lance Tromley, was stationed in Berlin, Germany with the US Air Force, some quilting friends made a baby quilt for Rachel's third baby. While they were still working on the project, the Tromley family was transferred back to the US and her friends lost contact with her.
The women who made this quilt were Wendy Breeden, Kelly Ives, Linda Bell, and Marga Andresen-Gransow. Marga used to teach patchwork and quilting to the wives of the US soldiers stationed in Berlin at the Country Crafts Store at McNair Barracks and later at Truman's Plaza.
Since that time, Marga moved but she kept the baby quilt in safe keeping through the years, hoping to be able to find Rachel and give it to her.
On February 16, 2003, helpful friends in the quilting community have reunited these two friends! Marga wrote, "Many, many thank yous to all the quilters who sent mails trying to help to find my friend. You are a great bunch of people -- it is an honor to be a quilter with sooo many wonderful 'friends in stitches.'" Arrangements are now being made to deliver this well-loved baby quilt.
