Dear Rose Anne,
We have never met, but I just wanted to let you know that I found a quilt you made in a consignment store in New Hampshire and I bought it! I'm a fellow quilter who came across your beautiful hand-quilted lap quilt and I thought I would honor you by buying it.
Wherever you are, (even if it's in Quilters' Heaven), please know that I will take care of this little gem. I appreciate the time and the skill that you took in making it.
Maybe you would be angry if you knew how little I paid for it - maybe you would be amused. But I do love it. I'm wondering when you made it? Maybe in the 1980's?
Sincerely,
Jennie

You are a quilter's hero. Thank you for giving this work of art a good home!:)

The quilt is gorgeous. I'm glad someone who will treasure it has it

What a nice message!

AWww that is sweet!! lovely quilt!!

Thats History. and its beautiful,

That gave me goose bumps! How sweet a person you are.

Very special and lovely needle work.
Thank you very much for sharing the
pictures and your lovely message.

In a good world, some old lady would overhear a pair of other old ladies commenting on a quilt someone found and loved, and she would murmur to herself, "I wonder what ever happened to that quilt I made for......all those years ago before I married my Bill?"

Oh, well, just dreaming. But it would be fun to find out who Rose was and what her life was like. Denning is not such a common name as Smith or Jones. Just maybe.....

Awesome! How grand that you found it & are giving it a home!
Maureen
