My grandmother, Nancy White, passed away a little less than two weeks ago (See below post). Ashlyn is her great-granddaughter and she had a special quilt pieced together for her. I am hoping that this quilt will be passed down for many generations to come. It already has such a rich history. Here’s what my grandmother wrote about the quilt before she passed.
"Nancy Lovvorn White's mother, Olivia Hubbard Lovvorn, was raised by Olivia's great aunt, Amanda Louise Davis Glenn and Amanda's husband Elias David Glenn, after Olivia's mother died when Olivia was seven years old. They called Amanda "Auntie". Auntie had made quilts for Vernon and Douglas ( Nancy 's older brothers). Auntie pieced a quilt for Nancy and gave it to Nancy some time in the 1930's (Nancy was born in 1932), but Auntie never got around to making the quilt she pieced for Nancy . In January 2011, Nancy had the pieced work made into a quilt by a relative of someone David's (her son) wife Denise worked with in Stamford , and gave it to Ashlyn. Nancy wanted to make sure Ashlyn and her parents knew the history of the quilt."
