History
The maker of the quilt is unknown; quilt was made in the USA, possibly Nebraska, date unknown. It was owned by Sandra Lee Mires James (born Howes) and is now owned by her daughter, the present owner. It is not used. "I received this quilt after my mother died (North Platte, Nebraska, September 2000). It was found in the closet. My maternal grandmother died in December 1999 and I don't know if this quilt came from her or if my mother got it somewhere else". [Shari Jamieson]
