I love the sound of all these old quilts - something we don't really have in our country. I have some of my grandmother's oak bedroom furniture - now in my daughter's room which I think Grandma would be pleased about if she knew - but it is only turn of the century, not as old as Queen Bee's.I also have my great granfather's black evening coat (tails)hanging on my wall. He wore it to my grandmother's wedding but I think it is older than that - may have come from Germany with him when he emigrated. He was only a little man - the coat fitted me when I was a petite teenager, not now. But he was by all accounts very strict and would not allow my acaemically gifted great aunt to study after leaving school, despite the pleadings of her teacher.That auntie never married, spent her life helping look after her many sisters' many children, doing church work...and writing.
