    Default Model "A" Tumbler Quilt
    One of our Model "A" car club members wife sadly was stricken with Alzheimers a couple of years ago. She passed last week. At the wake I was taken back by the quilt I made which was displayed on the kneeling bench at the funeral home. This is their 1929 Ford Model A Woody that I asked him to take photos of with the quilt. He did such a great job with the photos. He said she always sat holding the quilt. It warms my heart knowing she loved both the quilt and her car. RIP Barbara.

    Great job on the quilt, and a lovely old car. Sorry to hear of your friend's passing, but it's so nice to know that she enjoyed the quilt. I am currently working on a Tumbler for my sister for Christmas.
