History

The cot quilt was made by Lenore Myrtle Howes (1913-1999) In Nebraska USA c. 1945. It was then owned by her daughter and now her granddaughter. It is not used. "My grandmother probably made this for my uncle who was born in 1945. When my brother was born in 1962 it was used for him. I remember having it as a 'doll' quilt as a child."
[Shari Jamieson]
