One of her quilts it titled, “Trouble in These Fields: Mechanicsburg, Ohio 1936,” and dipicts Virgil Thaxson, a farmer from the area. That quilt has since been sold but the quilts on display depict men working in fields in the 1930s. For more information, residents can call the library at 937-834-2004.
