\t\t\t\t\"2016<\/a> 2016 Marie White Masterpiece Award made and quilted by Janet Stone[\/caption]\nA couple of years ago, a \u201cvery nice lady\u201d came to Carolyn Reese, owner of Road to California, and offered to sponsor the first runner up award on two conditions<\/strong>: One<\/em>, that she remained anonymous and Two<\/em>, that Road to California call the award The Marie White Masterpiece Award.<\/em>\u00a0 Road gladly agreed to her terms.\n[caption id=\"attachment_3411\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"448\"]\"2015<\/a> 2015 Marie White Masterpiece Award made and quilted by Nancy Prince[\/caption]\nMarie White is Carolyn Reese\u2019s mother and a woman who was very active<\/strong> in the quilting and doll making world until she passed away five years ago, six weeks shy of her 93rd birthday.\nMarie was born in Oklahoma. One day when she was walking home from high school, a busload of young men working at a CCC depression-era camp, passed her on the road.\u00a0 One of the fellows threw a Prince Albert Tobacco Can<\/em> out the window with a note inside asking her for a date. That fellow was Glenn White and Marie accepted the date. Marie and Glenn were married for 57 years and had two daughters, Carolyn<\/a> and Glenda<\/a>.\nCarolyn and Marie established The Fabric Patch fabric store in 1981. Their store was featured in the third issue of American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine<\/em>, making it one of the top thirty stores in the United States<\/strong>. Marie\u2019s specialty was doll making. She also loved working with ribbon embroidery and crazy quilting.\nTwo of Marie\u2019s dolls are currently on display in a special Cloth Dolls Tell Their Story Exhibit<\/em> <\/a>at the Ontario Museum of History and Art.\u00a0 One is a doll she created from a photograph of her mother, Oda Anderson, taken in 1934. The second doll, \u201cBlanche\u201d is one that Marie designed, taught classes and also sold patterns. Blanche was created in honor of Blanche Young, a well-known quilter and author, who was the teacher that started Carolyn in the quilting world.\nAs they say, now you know \u201cthe rest of the story\u201d regarding the first runner up award given at Road to California, The Marie White Masterpiece Award.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
