\"Grandma<\/a>
Grandma Betty’s Quilt – full<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While I was visiting my Grama a few weeks ago, my mom pulled a quilt out of the cedar chest (I know! wrong on so many levels).<\/p>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

A quilt? Huh? I really was confused because my Grama is a not a quilt person. She enjoys the one I gave her, but she doesn’t want more. I have no idea why I have never seen this quilt before.<\/p>\n

Apparently, my sister has known about this quilt for awhile and always uses it when she sleeps over at Grama’s.<\/p>\n

This quilt is referred to as Grandma Betty’s quilt. Grandma Betty was a woman who drove out to California from Chicago with my Grama, her brother (Uncle Gene), their father (Grandpa George, yes I knew him) and Grandma Betty’s daughter. I am not sure who drove, but Grandma Betty owned the car. I’ll have to ask Grama more about that trip.<\/p>\n

This is the first time I have heard this story and was amazed. The quilt is in terrible condition, but has a lovely soft look and feel to it.<\/p>\n

If my quilts look like this in 70 years, I will be happy. It means they were loved.<\/p>\n
