Janet Avants found a signature quilt top while cleaning out her grandfather’s house after he recently passed away. None of the names on the quilt are family, and no one in the family recognizes the names as friends or acquaintances, so they decided to try to find who it might belong to. The quilt was discovered in 2006 in San Angelo, Texas. It is about 71" by 79". There are five rows of four blocks each, set on point. Each block is a patchwork of print and white fabric. The prints are all different. The background fabric is a pastel teal. A couple of the blocks include the date 1942, but the fabric seems to be from a later date. It is machine pieced. Names on the quilt are:
Happily, in September 2007 this quilt was given to the family of Mrs. Otis Brackin. The family knew several of the other people on the list as well. Suzi Brackin Campbell wrote, "This was like a miracle to us and Janet is an angel."
Diana Sullins Fatzinger would like to locate a Pastel Double Wedding Ring that was made by her grandmother, Eva Mae Newman. This is a twin size quilt that is made of pastels, primarily pinks, on an ivory background. It is made from fabrics from Diana’s childhood dresses. There were also three twin size quilts made of primary colors using traditional designs. One may have been a sampler quilt.
These quilts are machine pieced and hand quilted sometime around 1955-1960. They were last seen in June 1962 with the friends or relatives of Joel and Jewell Sullins of Louisville, Kentucky. The quilts were given away when her family moved to Arizona.
