very nice

I so wish had one like that to hang on my wall

Wonderful hand me down!

I'm sure my great grandmother who died 10 years before I was born would have looked just like this. She did pass on the quilting gene to me...such a shame that it had to skip two generations. My mother and grandmother were crocheters..not quilters so I had to start from scratch.

What a joy to have and look at..
happy for you....

What a nice image for your sewing room. The family connection makes it special too.

She definiitely looks like a woman on a mission.

Very nice to have while you quilt. Sue

She is beautiful. Brings back memories of my grandmothers.

I have her sister, a sewing helper, picture in my sewing room. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, my!! This could have been my grandma. Her quilting frame was suspended from the kitchen ceiling on cords, and hoisted up when the table was being used. After meals the table was cleared, the frame let down and quilting took place. Great memories. This is a beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing.

Not positive... but I think that IS my Grandmother!

:thumbup: :D :thumbup:

LUCKY YOU!

oh how nice

what a great picture.

How nice! Great memories!

Can you take a guess at the signature? I'd love to see if there are prints available or at least check out other works by the artist.

Thanks, thanks!

Oh what a treasure.

Beautiful and a wonderful keepsake.

I love her!

Suspended in the kitchen ! Now that is some serious effort to quilt! I love this !
I have read the most fun and wonderful memories this post has sparked.
Thanks everyone !

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

Nice to have another inspiration. She is a wonder.

You are the lucky one.

Wonderful!! Does she have relatives I can purchase?!!

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.

Can you share with us the name of the artist?

what a treasure of memories this holds for you, enjoy.

AWESOME
