Family heirloom thread
 

Hi all, sassy08 had a great idea to share our family heirloom quilts. Feel free to share yours as well.

My grandmother made this quilt for my father. She hand embroidered each square with one for each state. The are of the state bird and flower, the entire quilt was hand quilted. I also have her wood loom.

Thanks, Ashjoy! I'll get mine posted as soon as I can. They're on my iPad and I don't know if I can download them from here. . ?

sassy, you can post directly from your iPad, its actually easier that way. Just click go advanced, then manage photos.

Just beautiful, thank you for sharing, what a treasure
Have a Blessed night

That is a real treasure, and so very beautiful.

These two have been posted previously, but not recently. My grandmother was a hand quilter. When I finally started quilting 2+ years ago, I couldn't follow suite, so I treasure these. I wore out the first one out and she was so pleased that a quilt she made was well used that she made me another. These would be from the mid 50s - I recognize fabrics from my dresses from the 40s. The worn one is being cut up and framed - one for me and one for each child who wants one. The GFG is displayed in my living room.

I wish I could. My sweet but unaware Mom let us play with great great granmother's quilt until they were destroyed. fortunately the up to 200 year old baby clothes got gentler treatment and are now in a museum.
