Kathy (Crowley) Catelotti grew up on Clay Hill and graduated from St. Mary’s Academy. She lives in Pittsfield, MA now with her husband Paul. However she keeps in close touch through the web pages and social media with the folks and activities of her home town. Thus the Barn Quilt project inspired her to be part of her old community in some way.
[private]Kathy is a quilter. She talked with her quilting group, the Yankee Pride Quilters Guild, and they agreed to make a Barn Quilt. On Wednesday, May 14, she and Paul delivered the completed 8×8 foot Quilt, designed with the Guild’s logo, to the Armory. “When I was growing up here I didn’t know much about the history of the Town,” Kathy said. “All my family is gone from here and so has most of the industry. But the farmers are still here. Some of them are third generation or more. We created this Barn Quilt to pay homage to those farmers and their families.”
