Family Heirloom Quilt

This quilt was made by my Great Grandmother Nora.
It is all done by hand.
The fabrics were from clothing.

The backing is chicken feed sacks.
The batting is cotton picked in the field, not processed in any way.
Still feel seeds and stems in places.
It has a few worn spots, not too many.

I have a bed covering that was done by my Great Great Grandmother for Great Grandmother Nora’s hope chest.
It is all crocheted. It is a strange size to what we know now and has the corners for the bed posts.
Will get a pic of that too when I pull it out.
I like to use it on our bed in the warmer months.

I also have some quilts made by my Grandmother Lola.
Will blog about them in another post.
They are 20’s & 30’s type.

I do feel blessed to have the ones I have . Most were used not put away for just special!!

I have other textiles too from my Mama, Aunts, Mother in Law, and DH's Grandmother Belle.

Too me these are treasures beyond value.

I hope to pass them on to our kids for them in turn pass on to their children.
