This quilt was created in the Sullivan family farmhouse, Jefferson, SC. The land has been in the family since the 1760's. I love having a link to this amazing woman. I never knew her because she passed years before I was born.
How she had the time to continue to raise her children, feed and clothe them, manage the farm, and sew a quilt for her 9th (?) child boggles the imagination!
Daddy would tell me rich tales of growing up in the Depression with his huge family, out there in the sand hills using those "*#%$*" mules for farming. If I hadn't been able to select this quilt, I would have nothing of Grandmother's but her genes and his stories. Now, I just have to take very good care of it!
