This entertaining and visually captivating presentation introduces the Mallory and Welch families who moved in 1834 to the wilderness of Alabama recently ceded by the Creek Indians. Their cotton plantations flourished, happy marriages occurred, tragic losses were borne, and, through their own words, we learn of the effects of the Civil War on their lives. The Mt. Ida Quilt Project also takes a humorous look at the challenge of organizing 12 busy 21st-century women with varying needle skills and keeping them on task to accomplish a project that was guaranteed to be fun and have lasting rewards!
