I'm now 70 years.  When I was a child "Aunt Emm" was the Evans family matriarch.  I can remember going with my mother to visit her in her sun/sitting room, where Aunt Emm would be in a rocking chair almost always working on some kind of needlework.  My cousin Ruth owns this quilt made by Aunt Emm (Her grandmother, who she and her sisters called "Memms").  I don't remember seeing it until about 6 months ago when Ruth asked Jerrianne (my wife) how to clean it.  We took the quilt to ask the advice of folks more expert in this area than Jerrianne.

Quilt made by Emma Ferdinand Evans Gerlach, born 1876 in North Carolina, died 1972 in Livingston, Texas.  She lived most of her life in Livingston.
