Today, while packing up box's and moving some of my parents furniture to storage, my mother uncovered two quilts that she had forgot about....Neatly, or shall I say safely tucked away from her daughter and daughters in laws were these two beauties....
Stitched by hand with love over 100 years ago by great great grandmothers....
So very fragile, and so perfectly detailed...Every single flower so delicate it looks as if they are swaying in the wind
The backs of each quilt are scraps of flour and sugar sacks.....

What beautiful treasures to discorver!
Treasures indeed! I have a lap quilt my mom made me and she's working on another one...modern treasures for sure, to be passed along.
