I will try to do that in the next couple of days. The only camera that I have is on this laptop so...I'll do the best that I can. I have to hold it up in front of the camera so I doubt that I will get a full picture of it.

Several years later when Grandma died.....I rescued her prized sewing goodies from the dump. My Uncle called me and asked if I wanted her sewing crap. If so, I had 1 hour to get it or it was going to the dump. I was very upset with his attitude!!!!!! I went and loaded my car with all of her goodies. There was 3 boxes left and I told him I would come back and get them. He said that when I left the rest would go in the pickup for the dump. I tied those boxes on the top of my trunk and took them home.
In those boxes was a beautiful Umbrella Girl quilt top, several quilt tops cut and ready to sew. I have shared Grandma's sewing goodies with my family and I still have several cut squares of blocks waiting to be used.

I remember reading an article in a quilt magazine a long time ago about a lady who bought a quilt at a yard sale. She wanted to know about the maker of the quilt. So she went back to the house to ask the lady she bought it from and the lady she bought it from didn’t want to talk about it. She somehow researched the quilt for 3 years and finally discovered that it was made during the civil war by a lady who had 2 sons fighting on different sides of the war. The quilt was made in the 2 colors (grey I think for the Confederacy) and blue (I think) for the Union.
