It very much was inspired by the Bowen quilt. The maker is unknown and should you be interested, the IQSC reference number is 2009.039.0033.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102564793941717567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-37594447083339873392012-08-21T19:42:01.349-05:002012-08-21T19:42:01.349-05:00The obituary for Mrs. A.K.

Both were ill prior to their deaths of different afflictions and both were in constant pain.<br /><br />Rev. Bowen was pastor at the First Baptist Church for a short period of time.<br /><br />What I thought was fascinating was the "remains of both were borne to the cemetery and deposited in the same grave."<br /><br />They are buried in Lakeview Cemetery in the village in Section 9 plot 199. I was thinking I'd go there and snap a picture of the grave. A friend suggested I leave some flowers and fabric.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730612878575654029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-59947786443872818432012-08-20T14:16:32.880-05:002012-08-20T14:16:32.880-05:00I have a 500 piece jig saw puzzle called "Par...I have a 500 piece jig saw puzzle called "Paradise Garden Quilt" that resembles the Garden Quilt.

I'll let you know what I can uncover. Also, if you would like any more current photos of the places you are picturing, just let me know.<br /><br />We just had the most beautiful white on white trapunto quilt made in 1853 on display at the historical society. The maker was from Glen Haven, NY, at the southern tip of Skaneateles Lake where hydrotherapy was practiced from 1857-1911.<br /><br />Central New York is filled with luminaries of the 19th century and it is a great place to live if you love history.<br /><br />I'll keep you posted...<br />PattyPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730612878575654029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-78326429018053479302012-08-15T12:03:51.408-05:002012-08-15T12:03:51.408-05:00Your block is beautiful, I have no patience for de...Your block is beautiful, I have no patience for designs that have to be centered properly, lol.
