Long Lifers and Quilt Stories - Ep.2

Описание: In Episode 2 of Stories From the Porch, host J. K. Kathy Smith turns the spotlight on her new co host, Darlene Phillips.

The porch set is still under construction, so the “porch” today is a table covered in quilts. Darlene shares the stories behind her quilt work, including an Underground Railroad quilt, her years in the Sun City West Quilt Club, and a doll dressed in leather that her mother designed.

Kathy and Darlene also talk about:

Moving from Sun City West to Glencroft and finding a new kind of community

Darlene’s 55 year marriage and the teamwork of caring for her husband

Twenty five years working in a Washington high school, advising students, raising funds, and earning their respect

The night a sudden storm knocked Kathy off her scooter and Darlene wrapped her in a quilt and got her warm and safe again

Together they dream out loud about what Stories From the Porch can become. A place where “long lifers” at Glencroft sit down, bring something meaningful from their life, and share the history and wisdom they carry.
