Called "Little Red Schoolhouse", but there is only one red one, all the rest are different navy blue fabrics., Have always had a passion for sewing clothes, curtains, draperies, etc. - but since learning to quilt, it's the only sewing I want to do.

I loved her quilting horses. Two horses with U-shape holders for long pole on both ends, with crank for rolling material - long strips of fabric were used to secure quilt. I am curious to see if a date can be placed on the quilt. All done by hand. I have several other quilts at home.
