Re: Request for images of damaged textiles

[Sharron <quiltnsharron@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Yadin, I'm enclosing pictures from two separate quilts.  Both quilts
were stored in the attic of an older home.  Here on the Gulf Coast, storage
in the attic is never a good idea.  I will restore the red quilt.  It has a
date embroidered on it of December 1938.  The other quilt fabric is
extremely fragile and probably couldn't survive repair.

I hope these pictures will be useful to you.  Thank you for the opportunity.

Best regards,
Sharron Evans
Spring, TX

Hi Sharron,

We are in the midst of tweeking a draft, and hope to have it completed
in the next two weeks...would it be possible to have an image or two
by October 24?

Thank you very much for offering to contribute,

Yadin
