\"KODAK<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one of the first quilts I ever got, it is a doll quilt. \u00a0 It came as a present from my beloved grandmother. \u00a0 It’s a collection of bits and pieces of 1940’s and 50’s fabrics, no doubt left over from other projects. \u00a0 It is well loved because it came from her, and I was not used to getting presents.<\/p>\n

\"KODAK<\/a><\/p>\n

I even love the fabric on the back, a 1940’s print in blue and pink.<\/p>\n

This one is a tiny doll quilt that she made for me. \u00a0 It’s just random squares of cotton 30’s and 40’s prints, probably leftover from dressmaking. \u00a0 Again, I just love it, and I’ve kept it for at least 56 years, maybe longer.<\/p>\n

This is not the first quilt I ever made (it no longer exists, except in a landfill somewhere), but the second. \u00a0I did not really know what I was doing and it is made of the polyester\/cotton blend fabric that was available back then. \u00a0The red fabric has somewhat faded. \u00a0I made it for my dog at the time, so that he could ride in the back seat of the car. \u00a0It is machine pieced and hand quilted. \u00a0 I still love this quilt too, although it is not the style I work in now.<\/p>\n

I doubt that I would have ever made a quilt – without those early gifts from my dear grandmother. \u00a0 (I think that she learned quilting when she went to Indian School.)<\/p>\n
