I have a butterfly applique made by my paternal grandmother in the '30's. Two made by great grandmothers in the early 1900's( both sides of the family) and one made by possibly a great-great grandmother in the 1880's. My husband just cannot understand why I don't put them on display in the living room (which receives bright afternoon sunlight) I also have some woven, woolen coverlets made in the 1830's or 40's.
