Haven't posted for awhile - been busy, but nothing noteworthy. But......yesterday, I found an old, old quilt that needed to be added to my collection. Jeanie had found it on the Hghway 127 Trip last Fall, down Kentucky way, and had just brought it to her shop here in town. Anyway, there were a lot of my family names on it - which I am sure are not related, none-the-less, caught my eye......the "Christy" name was my step-dad's , the "Duncan" name was my Aunt Jessie's last name.....and down in the corner is a "Vernon" name.....and of course, the "Bettie" caught my eye. It is like reading a who's who.
There are names embroidered all over, and the dates 1904 in several places, and somewhere, "Mt. Sterling, Ky.".......the most names and dates I have ever found on a quilt! I brought it home, sewed a sleeve on the back to hang it, and it is now displayed in the Dining Room. Fun to read!
