The quilt panel is mounted on the wall of a covered verandah named in memory of Barbara Thompson Craft, one of the founding board members of the Cancer Association. She was a former contestant in the Miss South Carolina pageant, an avid gardener and especially loved lilies. She died in 2004 of lymphoma and leukemia. Kathryn Smith, quilter and resident of Anderson, made the original cloth quilt in colors that echo a Stargazer Lily, one of Barbara Craft’s favorite.
