Just curious as to where Mary Jane lived as a young woman.

By the way, I love the job you did with the top, too.
I have re-done things that had belonged to my Great-grandmother about 1875, and am familiar with how tricky it can be working with antique fabrics.
So, I am not just being nosy about Mary Jane, I am a history nut, and a fool over antique textiles.

BTW, I took the two quilts I've done to Tom and Gail this evening and they loved them. They were so excited to see them. :D They gave me the sack of the remaining tops they have (about 7 or 8) to do as well. So you'll be seeing more of these in the near future as I get them done. :D
