Goodbye, Barbara Engler.

Last night Northwest Arkansas lost a fabulous quilter and a treasured member of several quilt guilds, including two that I belong to - Q.U.I.L.T. and Dogwood. Barbara Engler was a friend to my mother for many years before I started quilting. When I joined the guild, she welcomed and encouraged me and became my friend as well. Barbara was well known for her exquisite applique and wonderful color sense. I loved going shopping with Barbara as she was as interested in everyone else's fabrics and pattern plans as she was her own. She was a lady, a mentor, and a friend, and she will be sorely missed. Goodbye, Barbara.
