I also inherited my Mom's Sisters Quilt Show posters and have them up too.
I found a hand painted dish at a thrift store that had been done by someone locally. My mom gave me some old wooden spools that were my grandma's. Most still have thread on them and Mom had written a paper to go with them that came with Grandma's Elna sewing machine in the 1950s. Very colorful to display.
