One added note to this discussion. I'm sure back then if they'd had some of the machines we have today there would have been machine quilters too. Just to put a quilt on the old fashioned frames took so much more work than today. Most of us all use modern machines to make our lives easier and the whole process more enjoyable. I'm so glad that not only was it rescued and finished but now due to those efforts, it will be enjoyed by someone who loved the original creator of this quilt. That gift is priceless. Sometimes looking back on the good memories in our lives, especially about those who are long gone now, gives us a piece of mind and just a happy feeling inside. We all want to be remembered once we're gone, this will that happen. If there were a picture of the orginal creator, I'd try and put it on the label to honor as well. I wish I was this talented.
