Pat Wood from Ames passed away January 14, 2016 a er a massive
stroke. She had served the Guild as an early officer and long me supporter. Pat taught classes for the Guild and cheerfully served in many
ways. She was well known for her love and preserva on of historic
quilts. Their life stories fascinated her and she diligently researched
the origins of her quilts. Pat inspired those who worked with her, took
her classes and s tched with her. She will be greatly missed, but we
can only imagine the conversa on around the eternal quil ng frame,
as Pat joins our other members. (contributed by Star Ann Kloberdanz)
Pat Folle gathered this informa on from the 30 year reunion in 2009:
Patricia Wood, Early Member, Treasurer 1980-82, Registered Agent since 1983
As a young child, Patricia a ended quilt gatherings with her mother. While other children
played, she helped the ladies with the edges of their quilts; eventually sewing and quil ng
on her own. “I received a Ɵny thimble for my 6th birthday, which I have now passed on to
my granddaughter.”
In 1972, Pat started teaching sewing for the Singer Company and for Adult Educaon Classes. When Iowa Quilters Guild started, she enthusias cally became a member
within the first year. From 1980-1982, Patricia served as the guild’s treasurer, and then
was asked to assume the permanent posi on of Registered Agent, receiving all of the
guild’s official mail. Through the Iowa Quilter’s guild, Patricia formed las ng friendships
with fellow quilters and con nued to meet regularly with them for “fun, fellowship and
inspiraƟon.”
