I thought for my first real post i would show some pictures of my quilting heritage. These 3 quilts were made by my maternal great-grandmother Linnie Erie Vickers.<br />
The first one is an appliqued dogwood quilt with hand-quilting done about 1933.<br />

The green and white quilt was also titled "Pride of West Virginia" and was finished in 1965. It was purchased by the then governor's wife, Mrs. Moore in 1970.<br />
