I found this treasure in a thrift store several years ago. The newspaper shows to be the Denison Herald with Sherman news and the date of April 25, 1932. All things considered it is in pretty good shape.

I enjoy looking at the old pieces of paper with comics and "Flapper Fanny". Before my time, anyway!

Great find!:)

Awesome

Wow, that's pretty cool. I love stuff like this

It's so nice to see someone from East Texas here. I have a friendship quilt top that I purchased in Paris, TX a few years ago... it would be nice if it could go to somebody that knew some of the people named on it....

Do you know any folks in that area? Let me know if you do please..

I don't understand what the paper is doing on, in the quilt....

Don't know of anyone in the area. Sorry.

I am not sure but I think they are called gazette quilts. The ladies would get the same paper and it was the same size. So they could separately do blocks and they would all be the same size. What a treasure you have found.

The quilt was paper pieced. The fabric was stitched to the paper, then made into blocks. Check out paper piecing. It is an interesting side to quilting. I made my DH a tractor lap quilt that was paper pieced.

Nice find on the newspaper. I'm into genealogy and would love to find something like that abt my ancestors!
I love your quilt. Beautiful colors

My husband and is family is from paris. That is where I met him. Would love to know more about the quilt

WOW!!!! How great is that!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

That is so cool! I'm from the Sherman/Denison area, born and raised. Hubby's uncle's family lived in Azle for years, too. Neat!

OMGoodness, how neat is that?!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

What a fun quilt.

Wow, that is a treasure, thanks for sharing

Cool..thank you.

wow how cool! aren't they supposed to take the paper off the back though when they are done?

There are only a few blocks that still have remnants of the paper on them. Happy to see that the one had the date.

L know about paper piecing but thought that the paper was removed after it was finished before putting quilt together.

I have a top from the St. Louis area with 1935 newspaper stil attached. It's a lot of fun to see the prices of things!

Pleased to see ya here!!! My Mother's family has been in Grayson County since before the Civil War.

What a special treasure you have :D:D:D
