Here was a wonderful article I saw posted today on Shabby Fabrics' Facebook page. I thought perhaps others would also find it interesting. Very heartwarming story about a WW1 quilt coming home!

What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. I love it and surely wouldn't want to take away from it in any way, but I would like to share my story about a 100 year old quilt if it would be appropriate.

When my MIL passed away in 2007. my DH went to Florida to help to finalize every thing with the house. While going through everything (and she saved everything), he called me and said, "Honey, we were going through the garage and found a cedar chest in the loft. In it was a quilt that Mimi said was made by her Grandmother Higby in 1912. Do you want it?" I answered, "It's not in the truck yet?" He said, "No, Natalie (our 3 year old granddaughter) has it out on the concrete driveway playing on it." After I recovered from my stroke, I asked him to get it and put it in the truck. It is tied and not quilted but it is hand pieced and looks like it was made from old Sunday shirts.

It is the 2nd picture in this thread and I just love it.

Thank you for sharing this story with us. I can see a novel coming from this brief message and the events of nearly 100 years. I wish I was a writer.
