Photograph of Alice Fowler holding the church circle quilt of First Regular Baptist Church. Alice Fowler is the granddaughter of one of the Sewing Circle members, Ethel Moore, who thought of and planned the First Regular Baptist Church quilt fundraiser, where church members could pay ten cents per name to be included on a particular circle on the quilt. Alice Fowler was a highly influential and beloved member of the Lawrence community, as was her grandmother, Ethel Moore.
