Thanks Jon for posting the Quilt Update. The owners of the shop are my sister and brother in law. This quilt is really a pretty piece of work. Just to stand and look at all the names and to think of your family with their names on the quilt. Your mind starts to wonder, thinking of the interaction between the makers of the quilt and how they had contact with our family. I myself love to quilt and have been involved with the quilting bee type of settings. To think of the ladies of the church sitting around talking and interacting while they are sewing my family members name to this quilt. Makes me want to go back in time and sit and quilt with the ladies. (silly thought ain't it ?) Anyway....... Thanks again Jon.

Sue.....this might be an impossible question, but can anyone confirm if there are any LANCASTER, CRESSWELL or McHANEY names on that quilt? I wonder if the antique mall could take a great picture of it so we could see all the names?? What a treasure! I hope whom ever buys it will make it available for veiwing.
