Pink and White Sunflower Quilt
Susan Kinderman would like to locate a special family quilt made by Suzanna Halstead Peters. The last known owner was Susan's relative, Ada Bowers Thomas. The quilt was last seen at a family reunion in Stamford, New York around 1938 or at the home of Ada Thomas in Warners, New York. Susan says, "This quilt did not belong to me. It is however part of our family history. I would like to see it to duplicate."
This quilt is about 74" by 89". It is a pink and white sunflower pattern. Susan believes the pink, white and gray fabrics are from the early 1800's. She estimates it was made around 1820. The quilt was hand pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted.
If you have seen a quilt which matches this description, please contact Susan at [email protected].
