Jayne’s Grandmother and the quilter of her Redwork Quilt.
I have a little green cardboard box with all he finished Redwork blocks of my re-make of Jayne’s quilt. It is like a little treasure trove, by now it contains 11 of the quilt’s squares.
In a file folder I keep the patterns in all their different stages.
- the printouts of the photo jpgs Jayne sent me from all the individual Redwork block in her quilt, for which I am ever greaful
- my tracings on overhead films which I made from each block to act as my pattern masters that I scanned and then resized to fit the fabric squares I choose
- and last but not least all iron-on transfers of the final pattern I made by tracing the pattern on the back of paper print-outs
I also filed all the little stories Barb send me, the mails I received on my progress and the comments that where made on the photos in my flickr photo file.
And very special pieces in my little collection are the two b&w photos Barb sent me. A potrait of Greta Lillian Rutledge which was the source for my Redwork picture you can see in this post and another b&w print showing Greta Lillian and her little son Floyd for whom she made the quilt so many years ago.
