Cora's Quilts

We have a plethora of baby blankets, most of which are very special. Bradford and McCance both have a blanket that was mine. They also have several that are hand-knit and crocheted by some very special people. Here are three of Cora's quilts that fit this description. (Cora wasn't very cooperative for the photo session, only wanting to turn her head to her right.)
This lovely quilt was made especially for Cora by our dear friend, Barbara Wyatt.
The characters on the quilt include The Three Little Pigs,
Little Red Riding Hood, and The Frog Prince.

This quilt was made for Scott when he was a baby by a friend of the family. Every other square has hand-embroidery with a phrase from the prayer "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep."

This is part of a quilt made by my grandmother, Bernice Page. My sweet aunt salvaged several portions of it and finished this one for Miss Cora. It is actually fairly unique in that Grandma Page mostly did patchwork-style quilts (simple squares)--at least in my time.

Alisa, you are correct...most of the time Bernice did patchwork quilts...I think that is why I thought this one was so special...and she loved the bright colors in it. Luella
