    I have contacted the artist. So far no responce. The picture was not numbered, he might have been a student at the time.. will let you all know. Look for a future post if I ever hear.

    I have enjoyed everyone's memories !

    Wonderful! A great connection with your mother and grandmother. You're so lucky this was passed down to you. :D

    This was purchased in the 1980's in a Berea Kentucky. I just don't know about any relatives. I have named her though.

    Grace. Not Gracy but Grace. Those glasses puts a very business like quality to her.

    She is my guilt buddy, companion.
    Thank you all for commenting !

    What a neat pic. Reminds me of watching the older ladies at church, including my grandmother, quilt.
