I recently went through some of the things at my parents' house. I snagged an old quilt, which I would not have done, except that my stupid SIL would have taken it for her dogs to sleep on.
My Great Grandma Reinhardt sewed it. It is at least sixty years old. The pattern is the one with the girls in bonnets. I guess it has a better name, I just dont know it. It is a little dirty. It has been in everyday use for as long as I can remember. It needs cleaning and then I would like to display it.
Does anyone know the best way to clean it without doing it any more harm? It means a great deal to me. I don't care whether it is worth anything, it represents an effort that people just no longer make. It was not meant to be a museum piece, just an everyday object worthy of preservation and pride.
