I can't believe you were able to fix it. I wonder if the little girl in the front of the family photo will one day inherit it. At any rate - it will be passed down.

And if anyone deserved the work, it is Phyllis! Great lady, she is!! And I did get to meet her sister,Ubbie, that made the quilt top to start with...she was a sweet, funny, lady! Nancy & Tessa saved a jar of buttons & threads when they helped clean out Ubbie's house yrs ago and brought it home to me! So proud!

One is a 9 patch and the other is a double wedding ring pattern. I remember in the '50's when my Mom had about 5 quilts folded and stored in her closet that were all made my my grandmother Frances. The reason I even saw them was one day I saw my mother carrying a bundle wadded up and I discovered she was throwing it out in the garbage. It upset me a lot but she said it had been on their bed for at least 15 yrs. Then she slid the closet door open and pointed to the shelf as she picked off the top of the 5 quilts, saying "it's time for another of Mama's quilts!" There were only 2 quilts left when Mom died at age 84.LouAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819960353792266334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307328535462685153.post-46940199296909222312018-08-13T21:56:45.005-05:002018-08-13T21:56:45.005-05:00Pat, even though we talked often while you were wo...Pat, even though we talked often while you were working on this, it took seeing these pictures to appreciate just what a monumental project you undertook! And, the results are beyond amazing! The thought, research, hard work and understanding you put into this quilt are such a gift for you to share with your family. And, I agree that the spirit of the aunt who pieced the top was looking over your shoulder with deep appreciation. Congratulations on your accomplishment. I can't wait to see your next rebirthing project!<br /><br /><br />Sherry in Little RockSherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229674912348613764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307328535462685153.post-34930356451505525802018-08-13T20:55:22.212-05:002018-08-13T20:55:22.212-05:00Oh my goodness, Pat, what a great story and I can&...Oh my goodness, Pat, what a great story and I can't get over the restoration job you did on this piece.
