Please excuse the quality of some of the older photos -- conditions were not always optimum in the good old days.
Some of the quilts I love, some not so much; but I have learned something from every quilt I've made, and hopefully improved over the years.

The utility quilts that I made between 1951 and 1980 are gone -- used up -- discarded -- relegated to the rag bag! Any photos of quilts during that time are also missing in action. Somewhere, there should be some pictures of some hand-quilted pillows from the late 1960s; I'm still looking.
However, surviving is my very first quilt:
