The Zapatas

We drove to Pachuca today with Elder and Sister Torres.  Neal and Jack Beecher also went. Carlos and Sylvia Zapata invited us to come up.  He works here at the CCM.  They both attended school here and he was the principle at one time.  There house is in a private gated community in Pachuca.  Sylvia has decorated it to be absolutely charming.  The loft upstairs had three beds in it for grandchildren.  

Sylvia loves to quilt and had a quilting shop where she teaches ladies to quilt.  



This is a quilt she has made.  She cuts out the pieces and the women sew them and quilt them.  

This was a banner Sylvia made.  It says, "Charity never Faileth"

I love this quilt Sylvia made.  She buys most of her fabric in the US when they take the car there and drive back.  Carlos said she fills the van with fabric.  

Nice mountain quilt. She made it also as everything that is in her shop.

A small wall piece.
Sylvia doesn't use quilting frames to quilt her tops.  She just puts in large basting stitches and quilts it by hand.  



Carlos tutors, Math, Physics, and Chemistry on the lower lever.  Sylvia's shop is on the top floor up the stairs.
