(Capt´n John)--This is a family quilt. Alex´s Dad, like all kids of his generation, had a special hero. His name was Charles Lindbergh. That´s right, the famous early aviator. Alex´s Dad, Joe, remembers whenver a plane came over (which wasn´t often) all the kids would run outside and wave and say "Hi, Lindy". Joe was very much a fan of Lindy, and so his 2nd grade teacher, a family friend, made this quilt for him. She had just started quilting. This dates the quilt to about 1932.
This was a very "loved" and used quilt. It has faded quite a bit in spots and shows a number of stains. Below I tried to get some close-ups of the fabrics.
