I don't know the woman's name. That would be nice, I think it is just a picture of an Appalachian woman quilter.

purchased in the 1980's.

While you don't know who she is ... you should come up with a name for her! Kind of like she's your guiding light or Angel! ")

She is so weathered.. and check out her little hunch, humped back.. we all feel like that after a long quilting session.

Find some quirky name, that seems to "fit" her character.
Beatrice? Gladys? ... oh you could have SO much fun with this!!

I'm going to research some old Kentucky Appalachia names. She is worn, lived hard and still has joy.. look at her stitches !!
Thanks !
