I only remember one great grandmother....her name was Grandma Ray (short for Rachel). Mom wanted to name me after her, but there were too many Rachel/Rebecca's in the family and she didn't want me confused with any of them.
ReplyDeletemy great grandma was my memiere to me, and her name was Lydia. She passed away a few years ago now, a couple days before her birthday, and she was supposed to go to the Casino for her birthday, with her $5 roll of coins. They ended up sending them to heaven with her :O} She was something special, and boy do I miss her. my oldest daughter and her were five generations, so i do have her actual framed photo I gifted her with when we had them pictures taken 13 years ago. And my family also gave me here statue she kept on her special shelf. (one of a kind from her keepsake. thanks for sharing about your mal rachel!! and love your pattern
ReplyDeleteOh no! I don't know my great grandmothers' names! My mother's family is unknown to us, and my dad's father was estranged from his family.

ReplyDeleteI never knew my grandparents, so I don't know what my great grandmothers names were. Sad, isn't it? I was a late in life baby for my own parents, so I never learned a lot about my heritage. I do know that my hubbys great grandma was Grandma Pope ;-)
ReplyDeleteWas just at Rachel's to oh and ah!! My maternal great gran's name was Lena - a lady ahead of her time as a single parent, business woman who owned her own shop, and supporter of family. My paternal great gran (I never met as she died very young with consumption) was Bea.

ReplyDeleteI am so very sad to say that I don't know any of my great grandma's names. Poor me!
ReplyDeleteHowever, both my GRANDmas sewed for a living, Grandma Inez as a dressmaker and Grandma Etta in a factory that produed pajamas. We always got new pj's for Christmas and it's my one family tradition still....
My great-grandmother's name was Helena but everyone called her Doe or Doe-Nana.

ReplyDeleteMy great grandmother's name was Sally. Such a cute pattern. So Rachel! Jenn
ReplyDeletepurpleheartorijennals@yahoo.com
My first great-grandmother's name was Astrid, which is my middle name since I was born the day before her birthday. She came to the USA from Norway and some of her recipes are still used regularly as family favorites. My second great-grandmother was named Nellie Mae ... her heritage can be traced back to the founders of Maryland (the state flag bears the coats of arms of my 15th-great-grandparents) and even Charlemagne. My third great-grandmother was Emma Jane, a British woman, called Jennie for short, and if I'd had had a daughter, I would have named her for Emma Jane, although my mother never liked her. My fourth great-grandmother we know very little about since she came to the USA from Poland in the 1800s and we have very few family records about the women on that side of the family but we think her name was Mary. But to my knowledge, not one of my ancestresses was a quilter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win - the pattern is beautiful!
I guess I had 4 and I guess I'd have to look up 1 of them!. The others are Johanna, Mary & Irene
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely pattern! My great grandmother's name was Mary.
ReplyDeletesunshdws@yahoo.com
That is BEAUTIFUL! Without a long story, my great grandmother was named Dora. To my knowledge she was neither hispanic, nor an explorer. (just for clarification).
ReplyDelete;) Caren
What a lovely tribute to your beloved mal! My great-grandmothers' names were Myrtle, Maude, Carrie, and Olive. Thank goodness their middle names were the ones 'handed down'!

My Maternal great grandmother was Jessie Gittens-- and she was a quilter and fabric painter!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this quilt! My great-grandmothers names were Gladys and Fern. They were both so wonderful! I spent many hours sewing and embroidering with Gran-Gran (Fern).
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew my great-grandmother's name but I probably never will. My father came over from Portugal when he was 17 over 100 years ago. I was close to my mother's mom (Mary) but never met her mother. My mother's parents were also from Portugal so we never met their parents or really talked about them...Too sad. I do have recipes from Grandma Mary that I still use today. I never saw her sew ... unfortunately but my mother did.
ReplyDeleteHannah Byrd and Reta were my great grandmothers. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. One of my great-grandmother's names was Eliza. Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteThe only great grandmother I knew in my lifetime we called Big Mama and she was a petite woman who stood about 4'6" tall! (I don't recall ever being told her given name!) Another great gma had was named Sunshine Noel but she died long before I was born.
ReplyDeleteHer name was Marie! Thanks alot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet pattern! My great-grandmother was Barbara.

My great grandmother's names were Ruth, Julyna, Eileen and Lorene. I remember all of them except Ruth who died when I was 2. Julyna and Eileen lived until after I was married in 2000.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, the great grandmother that I was able to meet a few times was named Hilda.
ReplyDeleteMinnie Eliza. Love ya Rachel and love Georgia.
ReplyDeleteI don't know my great-grandmothers' names -- they were from the late 1700s and early 1800s, in another country. Sad, huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis name the great grans thread is almost harder than the usual guess the correct statements mode of entering! My paternal great grand was Izabel, or maybe Isabella, but she went by M I R. I tried calling to find out the name of my maternal great grand but no one's home. My mum has always called her Nana, obviously not her given name. I never met either of them, which is a pity.
My greatmothers' name was Grace. I have an unfinished quilt top made by her.
ReplyDeleteI never knew either of my great grandmothers, but my grandmother taught me to sew, ripping out stitches that weren't perfect. I had to do it right! Grandma (Ethel) didn't quilt, but I do have a crazy quilt made by her mother, and some quilt squares that were passed down and that I am working into a corner of a string quilt I'm working on. Seems sewing ran in the family:>) I love this pattern, thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern:) My G-grandmothers were named Chloe and Nettie. These are the two that were still living when I was born:) I actually don't know the names of the other two:( I will call Mom and ask her; she remembers stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern, but I have no clue of any of my great-grandparents' names. I just called my mom (she's 83) and asked her. She said they died before she was born but she vaguely recollected Lizzie. So, Lizzie it is. All we ever heard was Big Papa and Big Mama. I hope I'm never called that! :)
ReplyDeleteMy Great Grandmother's name is Evelyn and now it is part of my daughter's name. We always called her Grandma Mutt though. That is not part of my daughter's name. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. My great grandmothers name was Leila.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and the story behind it all. Sweet Georgia. My great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth, a wonderful lady. And I LOVE RUBY!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Great Grandmother's name was Daisy. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of Rachel's beautiful patterns. She always outdoes herself.=)

My great grandmothers were Emma Lavinia and Selina
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the first names, but on my mom's side, we had Ma Rader and Ma Lee. I never had the chance to meet them :( But at least my little one has met his great grandmother. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletei am one of the only greats (hee,hee) to know and remember a few my great-grandmothers. Their names were Eunice (she went by her middle name, Eva), Kathleen, Georgia (Yeah!!), and Ruby. I knew all but one of them. My oldest daughter was almost named Georgia but my husband had an aunt with that name that he didn't love. :-) I still look at my little girl and think she'd be a perfect Gigi. I love this pattern and, of course, the Ruby line. I think I need to make this quilt with this fabric to remember my great-grandmothers! thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy great grandmothers name was Claire.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt & it is so pretty in the fabrics you used. My great grandmother's name was Claire.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile when I read that you wanted to know our great-grandmother's name. That gorgeous quilt is made with Ruby, which coincidentally is my great-grandmother's name :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmothers name was Arlene. Beautiful pattern!
ReplyDeleteWaht a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteMy great-grandmothers name was Margret!
Wow, I don't even know my great-grandmothers names, I only met one when I was a baby. That makes me realize that I should be putting this kind of information in my kids memory books.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this! I'm a born and raised (still live here, never lived in another state) Georgia girl and would be thrilled to make this quilt. My great-grandmother's names were Willene, Ollie Dee, Nelia,and Estelle. They were all quilters. Thanks for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt.

ReplyDeleteMerle Lillian. If I had a girl, she would have been Lilly...but alas...i'm a boy mom ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. My great=grandmother's name was Irema.
ReplyDeleteHaving four great grandmothers you would think that I would know one of their names. All I know is what they were called. My mother's paternal grandmother was revered to as "Little Nanny". I'm thinking that can't be her given name. My father's paternal grandmother was called "Mommy". I have her china....but not her name...although wouldn't it be odd to name a child Mommy. It sounds like something Steve Martin would do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding us of the great ladies from our pasts.
I believe my great grandma's name was.... Great Grandma Owens. I'm not sure of her first name to be honest.
ReplyDeleteMy great grandma was named Della. If I'd of had a girl I would have chosen it either as the first or second name. I think it's beautiful. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMine was called Gertrude.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful pattern!
