Handmade, Marriage

We made these crazy-quilt squares at a bridal shower in the 30s in Portland, Oregon. One embroidered the name of the loved one on a patch my mom had made beforehand. After the party, she sewed them together and I feather-stitched them at the seams. Backed by scrap fabric. Owner Mrs. Sam Vaney – I brought it to Bend in the 80s, when mom died.
