Heritage Quilts and Dear Jane

Mom's quilt Her grandmother, Selina Fessenden (born Lewis) made it for her in 1922. Just the top. It lay in mom's cedar chest until 2003, when I finished it for her. Home

Though 80 years old, the fabric is like new Home

I love all these patches Home

The same grandmother made this quilt, for one of my mom's older brothers It had a lot of wear over the next 50 years, until I claimed it when the cottage was sold Home

A few of the patches. My grandmother, Florence Fessenden, patched some of the pieces; years later I patched more of them Some of the fabrics are the same as in my Mom's quilt, but faded. Home
