What a wonderful discovery and you are so fortunate to have this treasure made by his grandmother. I know some members of my family quilted, but Mom's quilts were totally utilitarian and didn't survive 7 kids, but I do have a pair of pillowcases that my Mom embroidered. She taught me to embroider when I was 6 years old; and sewing a few years after that. I have some wonderful memories of those times.
