This is a special quilt. It was made for Alex´s Dad (Joe) by his 2nd grade teacher. She was a new quilter and a friend of Joe´s mother. Like many of the kids of his generation, Joe had an idol. It was Charles Lindbergh the famous aviator. When planes would fly over (which wasn´t often back then) the kids would run outside and wave to the plane yelling, "Hi, Lindy".
Based on the story, the quilt would have been made in about 1931-32. This quilt has had a lot of "love". It is faded in parts and has its share of stains, but I thought you would enjoy the fabrics of the period. I don´t know if this pattern was popular back then. Does anyone else out there have an airplane quilt from the 30´s?
Keep checking in this week for more from the Armoire.
