Family Gatherings

In Quilter's Newsletter issue 396, quilt historian Merikay Waldvogel told the story of a mother and daughter who made a quilt and wrote a book to record precious family memories. Daughter Harriett Ely of Fairfield Glade, Tennessee, made the quilt and recorded the stories written by her mother, Jennie Smith, of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Here are a few more of Harriett's blocks and the stories Jennie wrote about her life in the 1930s and 1940s.
