Grandmother's Heirloom Quilt

Over the weekend, David's sister Cindy gave us a vintage quilt that belonged

to their paternal grandmother.  It's a lovely quilt and it pairs very well with

the pillow I made last year from a tea towel that Cindy found at a garage

sale, and some Ralph Lauren fabric and other scraps I had to create this

cottage style pillow.

I am not certain of the era of these fabrics, but I am guessing 1930's or perhaps

1940's.  The stitching is tiny and perfect.  A very pretty quilt in excellent 

condition.

I wonder when Grandmother Freeman had time to make it since she raised five

boys and was the wife of an Army Colonel who was transferred to military bases

across the country. 

I never had the opportunity to meet Henrietta as she and the Colonel 

passed away before David and I were married.  I hope she knows that

her quilt is loved and will be well cared for until it is handed down to

the next generation.

Family heirlooms give such warmth and uniqueness to a home.

Thanks for stopping by to see our new treasure.

Big Texas Hugs,
