Viola Longacre

Viola Longacre
March 6, 1923 - February 18, 2010



Farewell gifted quilter and friend. You will be missed by the many who shared in your life. Viola and I had a few things in common, like quilting, painting, and we are both members of the Manteca Quilt Guild and retires from the SJC Welfare Department.
Viola enjoyed sharing her talent with others. She was a generous quilter and donated quilts to philanthropy.


Viola incorporated her painting talent with her quilting. She painted on fabric and sewed that fabric into quilts. Pictured below is a quilt she made that won an award at the State Fair. She painted birds on squares of fabric and sewed them into her quilt. This quilt is beautiful and unique. Because of the way the quilts were hung I wasn't able to get a picture of the whole quilt so I took a picture of the top and bottom.


Memories are stitched with love and your memory will live on in the beautiful fabrics you so lovingly stitched.
