Gracie Mae
Pieced by Kathy Cracroft Wilhelmsen (Draper, Utah ndash; 2005).
This quilt, made in 1930s reproduction fabrics, is named for my grandmothers, Grace Darling White Cracroft and Mae Elizabeth Rose Wallace Storrs, whose aprons, tablecloths, and kitchen curtains probably had fabrics much like these. This fabric is often referred to as ldquo;Aunt Gracierdquo;, and the back is done in a print with multiple little Gracie dolls.
Pattern: Yellow Brick Road
Custom quilted by Vicky Westmoreland (Salt Lake City, Utah in 2006). Vicky used a shell pattern in the center of the quilt, a feather pattern along the borders, and wreaths in each corner.
I made this quilt for a utilitarian purpose: to cover the electrical panel at the bottom of the stairs to our basement.
Size is 50 x 50 inches.
