"Hand Appliquéd and Quilted Poppy Quilt"

"This Quilt was given to me by a very special friend. This hand appliquéd and hand quilted quilt was made by her Aunt, Beatrice Spidell, in 1938. Beatrice is 100 years old as of July 2001 and I am happy to know that she is pleased her quilt has a good home. I am so pleased to share in possessing this beauty for any period of time. Beatrice lived in Cleveland at the time she made this quilt, and she spent many hours appliquéing and hand quilting as she sat at the bedside of her injured husband. The quilt is in very good shape and beautiful to look at. Although worn in a few areas, appliquéd leaves would help reconstruct the areas of wear. The binding is worn at the outer edges of this quilt but the scalloped edge on this quilt is gorgeous. To me, this quilt is a treasure and a real pleasure to share."
