I found these at Goodwill Spokane Washington...does anyone recognize it? I believe the white tag was added much later and the date could be wrong 1972, see other handwritten tag on quilt dated 6-2-1976. Marla S. From Donald & Lula Woodward. I believe most of the quilt is of silk and polyester ties. The backing is an awesome 70's Polyester squares, the smaller one appears backing is of silk. The hand embroidery is impeccable. There is a burn mark in the center of the quilt, possible cigarette burn as it goes to the back see photos. There are 2 quilts, one smaller and this large one. The smaller one is not signed. I have sent messages to a family member with no response. It looks as though they are not on FB much. The original maker Alma Zimmerman (maiden) She married Otto F. Spielman in 1941. They were later divorced. She married Jay Loomis in 1969. He passed away in 1992. She married Ellsworth "Doc" Foreman on October 26, 2002 in Coeur d' Alene, ID. Given to Marla (Marlene) Spielman daughter. Sister Lula & Donald Woodward are mentioned on the quilt. I have not had any luck in trying to reach any family member to see if they are interested in this quilt. Maybe there was rift between members or no interest in handing down an heirloom. I could just see this on the antique roadshow. Help me contact family member to see if they want. I do have some $$ invested. I have shared in groups and on Instagram. Thanks for those that have shared and sent me info. Quilter @ wendyhchasingthreads #silk #ties #quilting #embroidery #nostalgic #sewing #findmyowner #lostquiltscomehome
