This month's quilt is from Bev Smith. Here is what she had to say...Hand quilted by Marcelle (Marce) Hozak (1925-2025). Marce was a master of hand quilting as seen in this hand stitched applique. She was a gifted artist. She excelled in quilting, knitting, crocheting, card making, macramé, crewel work, plastic canvas and she was a skilled sewer. She made all of her square dancing outfits (100 plus). There wasn’t a craft she couldn’t do and do it well. It was my privilege to be her neighbor and close friend.

Cordova Then and Now...Methodist Church/Union Gospel Tabernacle
The Cordova Methodist Church was founded in the 1840's when the building was built on 4th street. The brick was made in the Kincaid Brickyard in Cordova. The church was closed for some time but was remodeled in 1909 and was later closed again. It was used as the high school for two years. The building was then sold to the Gospel Tabernacle. Rev. Charles Adee was pastor of the church. He came to Cordova in 1924. In 1926, there were four Sunday School classes--two adult and two for children. The church was still operating at the time of the centennial in 1936.
