Photograph of several of the circles embroidered on the First Regular Baptist Church fundraiser quilt. The red marks on the bottom of the quilt are Kool-Aid stains. As Mary Lou Wright remembers, the Sewing Circle allowed First Regular to use the quilt as they wished once it was completed, but it ended up being used as a tablecloth years later. Once Alice Fowler saw the stains, she brought the quilt back to her home for safekeeping.
