A short while ago, I repaired a late 19th century
baby-sized crazy quilt. The quilt's owner shared her family photos to add to my blog post about her little quilt. As I keep saying, I meet the nicest people when I work on their quilts!
Well, her kindness didn't stop there. She oh-so kindly sent me this photo of a quilt she saw on exhibit at the Mingei Museum in San Diego. It is labeled "Sock Top Quilt", made by Ada Jones in 1934.
"What's a sock top?" you ask. I certainly had no idea.
