The quilt had been left on a table at a family picnic. She was so glad to see it and she did pay me what I paid for it. Shortly after that I found the quilt board!

Several years later when Grandma died.....I rescued her prized sewing goodies from the dump. My Uncle called me and asked if I wanted her sewing crap. If so, I had 1 hour to get it or it was going to the dump. I was very upset with his attitude!!!!!! I went and loaded my car with all of her goodies. There was 3 boxes left and I told him I would come back and get them. He said that when I left the rest would go in the pickup for the dump. I tied those boxes on the top of my trunk and took them home.
In those boxes was a beautiful Umbrella Girl quilt top, several quilt tops cut and ready to sew. I have shared Grandma's sewing goodies with my family and I still have several cut squares of blocks waiting to be used.
