I'm donating these quilts to the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center museum tomorrow. I mentioned them a few weeks ago, and I'm just now getting around to posting them. These were hand pieced and hand quilted by her. She lived frim 1892-1973. I'm her last living descendent, and I wanted to document their history while I still can. When I'm gone, nobody will know anything about them.
She made this one especially for me--I'm keeping this one [ATTACH=CONFIG]30581[/ATTACH] She won grand prize at the Malheur County (Oregon) fair 70-80 years ago with this one [ATTACH=CONFIG]30582[/ATTACH] Yo-yo bedspread. Can you believe this? [ATTACH=CONFIG]30795[/ATTACH] Crib Quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]30796[/ATTACH] |
Very nice, especially the wedding ring quilt.

The pink one is my fav, do you know the pattern name? I have seen it many times but don't know what it's called. These quilts will be enjoyed for years to come and hopefully will inspire new quilters. :)

These are wonderful - what a legacy.
|
WOW!! what an amazing thing you are doing for her! Now everyone will be able to enjoy them and you are helping her make history
|
Oh goodness. I know you are proud Dear. Lots of people will now be able to enjoy your Grandmothers quilting. So good of you to think of doing this. :mrgreen:

WOW Those are all so stunning!! Your lucky to have had a grandma with such skill!!

Sorry, I don't know the patterns of any of them, except the Double Wedding Ring. If anyone else knows, I'd love it if you'd tell me.
