DOLORES FREEZE WAS REWARDED for her talent this weekend when her quilt won first
place and division at the Live Oak County Fair. The colonial pattern was embroidered
■nH the squares framed In peach fabric to make the king size quilt. This quilt took Mrs.
Freeze two years to complete. In 1994 Mrs. Freese was the winner in the same division
with her black and white chicken scratch pattern quilt, a project that took nine months
to complete. All of the work on the quilts was done “with these little fingers” as Mrs.
Freeze puts it. , > , •<

show.
She says. "I had the fun of
seeing my work hung for a
month and a half, under
guard, mind you. at the Art
Museum of South Texas. My
pictures were displayed in the
educational area of the muse-

great but because they were
