"February 26, 1990: Arlene R. and Arlene P. put my Sidewalks of New York quilt in the frame at church. Quilted in p.m.
February 27, 1990: Quilted in p.m.
Weather in February was very mild -- too little moisture."
Well, Grandma doesn't give me much to build on here. I tried to find a photo of the Sidewalks of New York pattern, but could not. It apparently is much like Trip Around the World, but there are many, many variations of that one. I didn't find this quilt on Grandma's list of quilts and she does say "my" Sidewalks of New York, so perhaps she kept that one. And maybe I can find out where it got to and take a picture of the actual quilt.
Speaking of taking pictures, I will need to find some examples to share in the future, but I must say picture taking was not Grandma's strongest talent. She is taking a picture of Jayme here and I am pretty sure I saw the photos she took -- I think Jayme is visible from the nose up, everything else is blanket. Grandma also had a habit of cutting peoples' heads off in pictures, so she swung to both extremes. Quilts, she managed to photograph pretty well, however.
