The Clothesline of Quilts Committee missed the month of December, so in
keeping with the holiday season and the New Year where thoughts often turn
to people and events from years gone by the following blocks have been
selected for the month of January.
The Holiday season for many people bring angels to mind. The “Mom’s
Guardian Angel” block is located at the home of Loye and Cathy Lucas at 272
Ruppert Askins Lane, Harned, KY. Ms. Lucas is a collector of and a believer in
angels. Her son Josh got the opportunity to paint this block for her which
holds special meaning to her especially as Josh passed away in July 2015.
Also, many times the holidays cause thoughts to fan back through time and
remember parents and grandparents who are no longer here to celebrate.
The following fan blocks were selected to be featured and are just some of
the quilt block patterns that have been done in memory of grandmothers
who were quilters.
