Mama and her sister, Aunt Ted, made this quilt when they were young ladies. Hand painted, embroidery and quilted State Flowers ~ 1926
Kit sewn together and quilted by my mother, Mabel Edmondson Hart, for our fourth baby. She made the other three covers but we wore them out. We "saved" this one. 1963
Top bought from a lady from church and it had a PINK sash. Put a brown sash on it and quilted it for my husband. He wanted me to make him an ORANGE dahlia quilt. I told him quilters are not suppose to work on a fabric or pattern they do not like. He accepted this!

It was my dream when I started this blog to look again at ALL my quilts and to share them with you all. I now have all the photos and in the process of posting them all. But you know what that means, I have not done ONE THING about quilting today other than dream about what I am going to make with the new Mylar Hexagons I received today from Brandy's. Enjoy!
