Green and White Heirloom
In the 1940's, Helen Louise Brewer's mother made a quilt for each of her three children. The full size quilt she made for Helen's brother was mostly green and white, using a small, masculine print. She hand pieced and hand quilted it. Attached to the quilt with a brass safety pin is a hand written note with Helen's brother's name, Charles Lloyd. During 1994 the house was broken into and the household goods were stolen, including this quilt which was being stored in a chest.
Helen's brother passed away in August 2001. Helen writes, "I am not expecting to see it again but . . . it would be great to find it. It is likely in Southern Ohio." She adds, "I haven't got over it yet and it has been several years. They even took all my mother's pictures and our Family tree."
