Helen Kelley Patchworks

Not long after I had finished the last of the set of my special quilts for our five grandchildren, I was presented with the first of our greatgrandchildren. More Grandma Kelley quilts, each a portrait of the child!

Cassidy – Our first Great…. Was a little blond with blue eyes. I made her a quilt in the genre style of portraits done in the 1700’s. She sits on a chair with Irish chain quilt behind her and raggedy Ann in her hand. This was built from an old picture of myself as a baby sitting on my own little chair.

Conner – Great-Grandchild #2. This young man loves motors. So I made him a tractor quilt. Toy blocks from his grandfather’s childhood lie on the floor at his feet.

Trey – Great-Grandchild #3. The highlight of each summer since he was tiny has been a trip to the Minnesota State Fair. Here he rides his favorite carousel animal while the lights and stars light up the night.
