Just picked these up and boy do they need a cleaning. Other than that I need to let them out and hem them up. Even has the matching fabric belt.

We ran across these quilts in a flea market.

The one from the Ozark, Missouri Working Circle (established 1938?) caught my wife’s eye and, as she was checking out the quilters’ names embroidered into each square, she nearly dropped the quilt and just looked at me in shock. Finally I got her to show me what she was seeing.

Golda “Goldie” Hunt (1905 - 1986) was my wife’s Great Aunt!

Of course we bought them both. My wife is giving the “ Goldie” quilt to her cousin as Golda was her grandmother.

Some great old-time first names here (not shown is Lorine Kessenger).
