How timely for NCMtnHigh's redwork quilt to be shown and how lucky she was to receive something like this. I have a redwork quilt which my mother received on the day of her birth - 2/14/1909. It was embroidered and quilted by her grandmother. It is composed of smallish muslin blocks which were called 'penny' blocks as they were purchased from a newspaper/magazine source for one cent per block. The designs in my mother's quilt are all children related and not as elaborately embroidered as NCHighMtn's quilt. I'm relocating and moving into a house with a sewing room wall on which to display this cherished piece. I've been wondering how I was going to prepare/display it as it's very yellowed with age and I'm sure very fragile. Thanks to all for the great suggestions. You're all a neat bunch of gals/guys. Love seeing the latest lap dog and his daddy!!! DottienTX
