Description
by Beverly Burnett Hamberlin (Author)
A true story of how a 1929 quilt was found in the closet of Mary Cannon and Hamberlin. It was folded over a strong hanger along with 22 extra blocks, covered in plastic. It was sent to the only relative that the daughters thought might know who the women were who had made it.
The woman they sent it to was a converts to the church. She had done the family history of both her husband and herself. She had been to Kelsey and met some of the women. Her love of family history and temple work led her to discover the history of 46 women who not only made quilts together but had been related to each other and to her and her husband's family.
The women were all converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints from the southern states in the late 1800s and early 1900s they had all come together in a place called Kelsey, which became the mother colony of the church in Texas. Wilford Woodruff encouraged the Saints to stay in Texas and not make the move to Salt Lake. They even sent missionaries to Kelsey to oversee the education of these new saints.
The personal histories of these women helped her to overcome the loss of her husband and strengthen her testimony of Jesus Christ so much that she knew that she had to share it with others and their families. as she researches, she meets others who, love these women too.
Their stories also helped her to remember and record her memories, and maybe it will help others do the same.
