Antique Quilt Tops and Blocks
I am looking for information on the names on the following quilts and blocks. If we can find the makers or their descendants, I would consider selling them, either "as is" or finished. If anyone has a lead, I’d appreciate it if you got in touch with me.
Thanks!
Lisa

The following names were on a “signature block” quilt top purchased at Sisters, OR, in 2005. The material is c. 1940s. The fabric is sturdy, and the blocks are not expertly pieced, but not bad. Very good condition. $125 USD (including postage) anywhere in the USA.
(Note: I have gotten in touch with several family members, including from West Stayton, OR, the area that it was made. They have given us a lot of interesting details on this quilt, which will be published in the Quilt Stories section when we finish. We already have an offer from one of the family members, but we will take back-up offers.)
Thanks!
