Early May, 2009 . . .
I visit my parents, now 97 and nearly-95, every month ... each time for about a week.
What a gift! Oh, my...
My parents have been collecting antique quilts for about 40 years. They may be the oldest living collectors of antique quilts ~ they are, FOR SURE, the Cutest!
Earlier this month, I pulled out some of their quilts, and asked them to let me take some photos.
Merry and Albert Silber of Southfield, Michigan said,
"YES!"
With a very full heart, I share with you my folks, and some of their antique quilt treasures.

19th century indigo and white quilts.
Blue and Whites are probably her "favorites," but she has a
great eye for some others:

When I brought her the 1870s "Album Patch" quilt (right),
and put it on her lap. she could not believe how
many pieces there were.
She said she had forgotten just how TINY they were!
I'm going again for Mom's 95th Birthday in early July.
I'll take more photos of them and their quilts then.
Stay tuned if you like this thread!
This has to be one of the all time best

Oh my gosh Julie - you are so blessed, doubly blessed to have both parents still with you and the chance to visit often. Even better is the heritage you share in the love of antique quilts. What a treasure. Enjoying this thread? Absolutely.

Dearest Julie, I just wanted to see some pictures of Al and Merry today - and here they are. All our family is thinking about you and yours today - re-living the 'crazy-quilt' of memories of shared families and childhoods in Detroit. We send you love and sympathy in these days of sorrow over the loss of your father and joy in the great celebration of his life.
