She was unable to complete it, though. After her death, my mother's sister finished the small amount of remaining applique and embroidery, and my father's aunt quilted it.
This quilt was from a kit, with the designs pre-stamped on the fabric. I don't have any other information about it; if anyone knows where it might have originated, please let me know.
My father used it on his bed for a few years. I could find one worn spot on it, and it has a couple of small stains. It is stored in my closet now as one of my prized possessions.
What a lovely quilt. The fact that so many hands and hearts touched it is a tribute to your mother's memory. Quite a treasure.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! My grandmother started a quilt like this, but only finished a small portion of it. I tried to finish the appliqué, but it was too tedious. I will see if my mom still has it at her house, it may have some information on the packaging. While my grandmother's was a different design and color, it may give you more information.
