Silk Crazy Quilt

Dec 21 2010

Linda Bryant is hoping that someone has information about a silk crazy quilt which was made by her mother. It was sold at a summer yard sale held in Bangor, Maine in the 1960′s. A man bought it and said he was going to put it in a museum.

This quilt is full-sze. It is made with silk fabrics and has names and dates significant to her family including “Irving and Judy, Nov. 26.” There are also hand embroidered flowers. The quilt was edged with lace.

If you know anything about this quilt, please contact Linda at [email protected].

Booth Family Quilt

Aug 15 2009

MaryJo Savage is searching for a family quilt made by her mother, Ada Booth. This is a small, regular bed size quilt that is embroidered with the names of family and friends, including the names Ada Booth and Lawarence Booth. The embroidery is colored and is on a white background. It was made around 1940 or 1950. The quilt was last seen around 1985 or 1986 in Prichard (near Huntington), West Virginia. It was sold to another family member in Kenora, West Virginia, but MaryJo would like to locate it and purchase it back since it was made by her mother.

If you can help with the recovery of this quilt, please contact MaryJo at [email protected].

This is a full bed sized quilt made in the early 1970′s. It is hand pieced with red fabric and unbleached muslin. On the blocks, the maker embroidered the names and dates of different red schoolhouses that she found as she and Barbara’s grandfather took Sunday drives in the country.
