This quilt was given to my mother in Bartlesville, Oklahoma in 1956 when my brother Larry was born. The illustrations were taken from coloring books. Each picture was outlined with stemstitch hand embroidery, and the interiors were colored in with crayons and then ironed to set the colors.
You can tell that this quilt was loved to pieces. I hope the quilts I make for my grandchildren are used up like this one was.
