Satin Quilt- 1952


This is a photo of my oldest sister, Cheryl, on the satin quilt that my mother made when she was pregnant. My parents lived in a logging camp in the mountains of Arizona, and there was no electricity except at night when they would turn on the generator.

She was home during the day, so she machine quilted this quilt by turning the handle of her electric sewing machine by hand for every stitch.
