A celebration of love, heritage and art

When Margaret A Hubl (Jirousek) died at 89 (July 10, 1927 - July 17, 2016), she left a legacy of love, and art, an expression of her rich Czech heritage. This legacy was further celebrated and documented at her Rosary and Mass of Christian Burial, held at St. James Catholic Church in Trenton, Nebraska, where virtually every pew in the church was adorned with a quilt that Margaret had made by her hands for a family member. A few of these quilts had not yet even been presented to the recipients at the time of Margaret’s death. A celebration, indeed.

The story of Margaret Hubl (Czech spelling with an umlaut ¨ over the u) and her quilts was reported on TODAY, February 28, 2017. PHOTO from that story.
