April 6, 1993: Today's Wayne Herald: From November 16, 1992 when the temperature reached 56 degrees to March 26, 1993 when the thermometer was 62 degrees -- never above 50 degrees in that period. Sewed binding on Mitch's quilt -- Greta will finish it.
April 6 and 7, 1993: Rained."
Nice that the Wayne Herald publishes such tidbits. Not that I'm horribly surprised it wasn't over 50 degrees over the winter. That did make for quite a stretch though.
Does anyone know which quilt pattern Tom and Merilyn got? That number of blocks and that many pieces sounds like quite the project. I guess Grandma thought so too since she made note of the project that way.
Here's a photo of Tom(my) in the Morris Chair. (See, I remembered the name of it. Finally.) And he's smiling at the thought of a new quilt I think.
I think the pattern was some kind of a rose. This was a pattern Merilyn picked out and asked Mom to make. Merilyn and her mother picked out all of the fabrics. There was a solid rose color and a solid green (not a bright green) a figured piece and the background was a cream or an off white color. There were lots of diamond shaped pieces.
