#34 Peace Y'all!

Quilter Rebecca DeFoor

Sponsor Sandy and Perry Stencil’

“Peace Y’all!” That’s the shout from high up on Sandy and Perry Stencil’s barn on Glad Oaks Hill in Westminster. A tie-dyed Peace Symbol with that phrase plainly written in purple and orange. Stancil doesn’t consider himself an artist, but he loves color and tie died fabrics. He even teaches kids in the schools how to do tie dying, the only quilt in the family is one of a Dutch Doll made by his grandmother. He and Sandy gave it to their daughter, Carly. When he read about the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail, though, he decided he wanted a quilt, in purple and orange, with Peace Y’all, just like a t-shirt in his collection. One of the stipulations for putting a quilt on the trail, however, is that the quilt must actually exist in fabric and thread. So his cousin, Becky DeFoor, promptly made a fabric quilt block to hang on their kitchen wall.
