creativity brought life to others. From sewing, quilting and embroidery to
photography, scrapbooking and bow making, you always knew it was a Barty
masterpiece. She made everything seem easy and always encouraged those
around her they could do it too. Not only did she create her pieces from
scratch, she put hard work, lots of time, and pure love into each one she
made. There are lots of "Barty Things" in several people’s homes that will
carry her legacy for years to come. Barty was a loving daughter, sister,
