I seems that client quilts run in streaks. For a time, I was doing nothing but T-shirt quilts. Grandmother’s Stars started a trend of quilting vintage pieces.
Unlike many of the quilts I complete, this one has a rich history. See the excerpt from the owner here:
Here is a little more information on the quilt you just completed. I believe it was pieced by my grandmother, Opal Mary Robertson Dunn 12-11-1899 to 3-27-1993. She was born in Missouri but lived most of her life in Greenwood, Arkansas. I think the fabric was from the 1940's and set together with feed sacks. I will include a couple pictures. One of my grandmother as a young woman and one taken at her home. In later years my mom, Betty Jean Dunn Smith 2-25-1930 to 3-30-2019 would do repairs for her mom on the old treadle machine whenever we went to visit.
To top it off, after receiving her quilt, the owner says this:
As you can tell, I am so happy to have this quilt completed. Thank you so much for the beautiful job. This is where you will find me this winter. Covered with the quilt, stitching, and enjoying a cup of coffee!
And here she is:
E2E Quilting
Dear Heart was a great choice for E2E quilting. The pattern helps to secure the applique but doesn’t take away.
