Lovley company to Quilt with.

The picture was a purchased in Berea Kentucky. Every fall my mom and Grandmother made the trip: to see the mountains and changing leaves and visit the artists college there.

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.

What a treasure you have.

Will be a nice asset in your sewing room.

She looks very determined

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! ")

Tears came to my eyes.

yes, I like that idea very much ! Thank you !

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

:)

Such a treasure and thank you for showing us :-D

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 !

Even her clothing looks quilted!

I love it too!!

Beautiful!

Who painted this? I can not make out the signature in the corner. Thanks

How wonderful that you have this from your gram. I learned to hand quilt with such a lady as this way back in the late '70s. Loved those quilters.

I have a quilter picture also. My sister found it in Arizona and sent it to me in Tennessee. It is a lady from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

OH! She has the same weathered look !
Have you named her?

It is signed. I just sent my picture to the artist and asked if this was his.. Hard to read the sigature. Your's is very well written.

Thanks for sharing !!

Notice her little hunched back. OK ladies, I know I want to hunch after a long day on the sewing machine or pieceing by hand. Hah!

Maybe it's just this the Dowagers Hump. ha ha.. I love these pictures !!
Forward Head Posture and Dowagers Hump. As we age our spines gradually collapse causing us to hunch forward and stick our heads out.

No her name is on the inside. I had to take the pic apart and clean because of mold but I didn't write down the name when I resealed the print.... I know you love yours as I love mine.

Lucky you! Enjoy!

Priceless.

Wonderful to have that connection. Their all watching over you
