    We recently we given this beautiful childs rocking chair.
    It belonged to DH's grandmother when she was a child...(1903)
    I'm using one of my table toppers now but plan on making a quilt especially for this rocker. :)

    Oh how lucky you are!!
    Wouldn't I just love to have my Dad's Children's Rocker (born 1911) which was very similar. Sure do hope my nephew has cared and appreciated it!

    :) Our daughter has her great grandmother's child size rocker, 100+ years old, thanks for the idea.
