Judy & I were childhood friends and grew up knowing each other @ least once or twice every month @ our Mother's and Grandmother's Textile parties, Stanley Parties, Cross stitch ladies groups, knitting circles, and any other gatherings that our families were involved in.
They loved to be teaching the two of us something. Judy & I loved the textile painting on fabic and glass with stencils. The elderly ladies loved us serving the refreshments. We would laugh and giggle as we enjoyed our time together. I always will remember our winter activities together being with the women we loved doing what they loved and sharing time with Judy. A very quiet spirit and a very deeply intelligent women that few people ever got to know. Even then, she only showed me a small part of who she was and I like who I knew. Judy I am happy for those times we shared together. Love Sharron

Thank you for sharing your comments and memories about Judy Bowlby. I knew none of this about Judy and it was a pleasure to read these things about her and you too of course.
