My Aunt Betty died a few months ago one week short of her 98th birthday. In sorting out her things my cousin found a box with 3 antique quilts and a note they were made in the 1930's by my grandmother and her mother, and I didn't even know either of them quilted. Aunt Betty, who lived on a farm, had a large family, 10 kids--nobody wanted the quilts so my cousin gave them to me! I am so excited, what a treasure!! They all have a few brownish stains but no rips or holes. Only onevwas completed and needs new binding. The Dresden is a finished top and Sunbonnet Sue there are blocks sewed together for two twin quilts plus 10 left over completed blocks. I will try to post pics, my first time under this new forum, hope it works.
Attn embroiderers: if my pics come through would you look at the closeup of the pink one. It is all embroidered and the thread looks twisted or are those individual stitches? I have never seen anything like it am just curious how those stitches were made.
