and YES, those are stains toward the bottom. Just the way we received it. I am guessing it is iron stains. We just recently got city water here, last fall.
And this is one of the ones she sent to ohio (I think) to have machine quilted.

Miranda,
What beautiful treasures you have.

I have an "old maid" quilt that my great aunt made for me. She figured I was in my late 20s and I'd never get married but I should have one of her quilts. :lol: I feel so lucky to have one of her quilts.

Quilts all have a story that make them even more special
Your very sweet for sharing your quilts with us.

This past January made us two years in our new home my DH built. I have not gotten the kitchen painted. It's a flat white, just as well say it's a primer. I got the paint about a year ago, but it is semi-gloss, and my little boy has asthma. I've GOT to get him out of here for a day and get to work! We're unfinished. WE have no baseboards in most of the house. I don't have many pictures or artwork up. I just got my DD's curtains up yesterday. I finished them a few days ago. no window sills or framing up, yet.... Hubby is busy working...I can live unfinished...we were in a trailer. It will all happen, eventually. Don't give up! I haven't, yet. Sometimes it does get hard and really aggravating, but we'll get it. someday

Soooooooo beautiful!! I would give my eye teeth (good ole WV saying, right?) to have some of the quilts from my ancestors. Being a girl child I got pots/pans set of glasses and a pitcher, and a planter from dad's family. sigh The good stuff went to all the male grands or the male children. But I'm not bitter, at least I HAVE something from back then.

But your quilts are so so so so beautiful. Can you tell me more about eh quilting with yarn? Was it all pieced with yarn, too? hmmm, must have taken a year.

Love 'em,
Sharon
