Grandmother's Friendship Quilt
Gloria Fletcher is still looking for her grandmother�s friendship quilt which was lost during a move from California to Texarkana, Arkansas in the 1950s.
The quilt was promised to her when she was only 10. "This is going to be yours because you love quilts," her grandmother said.
The maker was her great-grandmother, Emma Ward. There were about 25 signatures on it. Gloria believes this quilt was made in the 1930s and she thinks it was a scrap quilt, probably with squares and/or triangles. One of the names inscribed on the quilt was Fay Groves and another was Fanny.
Gloria says, "I would, of course, be happy to pay a reward in order to retrieve the quilt, if it still exists."
If you can solve this 50 year old mystery, please contact Gloria at [email protected].
