Thanks for sharing ... I'll look forward to seeing the others, and hearing about any stories that you do know about them.
I have a Dresden Plate from my Mom and Dad's. As kids we knew it as "the company quilt". One that Mom put on her bed when company was coming. Likewise we had "company towels" that were only put out behind the bathtub when company came.
None of my siblings know anything else ... I suspect it was from when she was married. Though possibly older. And probably was never used other than for company to see.
I'm now thrilled that I lucked out in getting this quilt ... as opposed to the siblings getting it!! :)
And I hope you too are enjoying FILs "covers" :)
