«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 267 Newer› Newest»What a beautiful quilt! My great grandmother's name was Helen
love it -
beatrice
catherine
My great-grandmothers' names were Sally, Alberta & Irene!
Sallie Rice Eastburn
Thanks for the giveaway!!
What a beautiful quilt!! My great-grandmother's name was Ida Mae.
Georgia is a family name on my mother's side also, I think a great aunt. My great grand mother's name, who died not long after I was born, was Jewel.
What a sweet design!
I only ever knew one of my great-grandmas. Her name was Nona.
Clara Belle
One of my great grandmother's names was Ida Lane... and there is an Ida Lane in Kamloops, B.C. (You know, if you're ever in the neighborhood and wanted drive down it for yourself)
My daughters have one great grandparent... her name is Mildred but we call her Deeda. She's 96 years young and is such an amazing person.
Thanks so much for the chance at this gorgeous pattern. Your story really touched me and I'd be honored to make a Georgia of my own!
The great-grandmothers names that I knew were Pearl, Mary, and Maime Lou Nicey.
Beautiful quilt!
Sara
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.
my 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
Oh 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. My father's mother came from Australia and I don't know her mother's name. However, my grandmother's name was Viola, which is my middle name! Sheesh - long story. Thanks for having the giveaway!
I don't remember any of my great grandmas. My daughter still has a great grandma (my gran). Both of my granma though were called Ann! I love that name.
That is a beautiful quilt! My great grandma's name was Lois, same as my grandma's and my mom's middle name. :)
her name was Breunisje. It's a name that is very rare these days. The name comes for a part of the Netherlands called the Veluwe. My mother's name is Breuni and Breunisje is my second name:-)
Lovely quilt! I'd love the pattern. My great grandmother's name was Anna Mary :)
Minnie
She was one of 16 and learned to quilt at a very early age due to necessity.
I really love this quilt, it's so gorgeous. My Great-Grandmothers name was Ethel Strong. Hugs...
I 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 ;-)
Was 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.
What a beautiful quilt!
I knew both of my maternal great grandmothers. Cuerenna was my grandpa's mom and she was in a nursing home from the time I was old enough to remember until she died. My grandma's mom was Nellie and I was very blessed to know that woman for almost 30 years. She was also and amazing quilter!
My Great Grandmother was Ana, from Poland....thanks, and stay blessed!
ps...loved the story behind the Georgia quilt.
Mayme. But we all called her Mom.
Ooooh, so pretty! My great grandma's name was Clara.
Ivah and Alberta. What sweet memories...
My great-grandmother's name was Edith.
I am so very sad to say that I don't know any of my great grandma's names. Poor me!
However, 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.
That's so neat, I am actually named after my great grandmother!
Gladys Vivian
My great grandma's names were Eleanor & Mary.
We called my great grandmother Gran, but her real name was Helen. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
Irene and Hildegarde... they sound so old fashioned to me now, but both were pretty young at heart. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Gorgeous quilt! I love those fabrics to the moon! My names are Anna Christina and Anna Christine. What are the odds??
Granny was my Mother's Mom. She hand quilted so many lovely things. I have several of her quilts that I will cherish FOREVER! She is the reason I am learning to quilt.
My great grandmother was Lena, a name you don't hear very often, but we called her Hoppy. She was a very sweet and kind woman and I know she would enjoy this quilt! Thanks for the give away!
One of my great grandmother's name is Johanna Maria Dorothea--I;ve always loved her name.
My great-grandmother's name is Syble and I am lucky enough to still have her in my life. She is 94 years old!
My great grandmothers name was Annie.
Her name was Ivy.
What a happy quilt!! My great-grandmothers' names were Hazel, Laura, and Helen.
Lunetta was my great-grandmother, although I never met her. I'm lucky enough to have one the quilts she made. Thanks for the chance to win!
So fresh and pretty, what a lovely design! The only Great-Grandmother I know anything about was on my father's side...her name was Lizzie. She lived in the Ozark Mountains, and she smoked a corncob pipe. I imagine her as a lady with a lot of sass!
Beautiful! Mine was Ada. corids84@yahoo.com
What a beautiful pattern! Just got back from Rachel's post - beautiful post too! Made me smile and think of my sweet Nana's!
I'd have to look up my genealogy for my 4 great grandmother's names - but my grandmother's names were Mary and Emma!
What a lovely quilt! I would love to make one and have it in my home. My grandmother's name was Emma and yes she did put together a couple of quilts.
My Great-grandmother's name is Evelyn. She is the only one I've known. She is also still alive and will be celebrating her 93rd birthday next month!
Great story over at ps i quilt! My great grandmother's name was Tatjana. Thanks for the chance!
-Megan
My Great Grandmother's name was Grace Belle. A fiesty Iowa farmer that did quilt.
Whoa. What a great story and quilt! My Great Grandma's name is Inez. She is still alive and will be 90 in January!! thanks for the chance!! ~Amy acbippes(at)msn(dot)com
My great grandmother's name was Sally. Such a cute pattern. So Rachel! Jenn
purpleheartorijennals@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.
Thanks 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
Such a lovely pattern! My great grandmother's name was Mary.
sunshdws@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).

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!
LOVE 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).
I 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.
Hannah Byrd and Reta were my great grandmothers. :)
Beautiful. One of my great-grandmother's names was Eliza. Thanks for the chance
The 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.
Her name was Marie! Thanks alot!
What a sweet pattern! My great-grandmother was Barbara.
such a cute pattern. my great grandmother's name was Edna; she passed away at the age of 108! thanx for the chance.
My great-grandmother moved to Pittsburgh from Northern Ireland, and her name was Margaretta.
Julia and Mary were my great grandmothers' names.
The only one I know the name of was Great Grandma Jean. And my Grandma was names Jean, too. And my Mom is Elizabeth Jean. I'm Heather Jean and my daughter is Hannah Jean. A lot of Jeans.
Ida was my great grandmother's name. Love your Georgia. Want to make it!
My great grandmother's name was Susie Mae!
Lovely pattern!
I need to learn more about my family history. But I do know the names of three of my great-grandmas.
Hazel Amanda,
Eva (we called her Mama Liz),
& Jackie (they called her Mama Jack)
I love this Georgia pattern, and the fabric you chose, Rachel!

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.
Very cute, the great grandmother that I was able to meet a few times was named Hilda.
Minnie Eliza. Love ya Rachel and love Georgia.
I don't know my great-grandmothers' names -- they were from the late 1700s and early 1800s, in another country. Sad, huh?
What a gorgeous quilt!
This 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.
I 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!
Great 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!
I 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! :)
My 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. :)
Beautiful quilt. My great grandmothers name was Leila.
Love the quilt and the story behind it all. Sweet Georgia. My great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth, a wonderful lady. And I LOVE RUBY!!!
My Great Grandmother's name was Daisy. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of Rachel's beautiful patterns. She always outdoes herself.=)
Angela Rose. Love this quilt!!!
I have one Ona Mae, one Mary and two unknown names--I'll have to look them up!
my father's granmothers were harriet and grace.
I never met any of my great-grandmothers, but I was named after one of them. Jane Elizabeth. :)
I never got to meet either of my great grandmothers, but on my mother's, her name was Henrietta.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful quilt pattern by Rachel.
One of them was Mabel.
Lovely pattern
I'm fortunate enough to have my great-grandmother Pauline still with me- and she's the one who taught me to quilt.
My great grandmother's name was Lola.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My great grandmothers were Emma Lavinia and Selina
Not 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!
i 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.
My great grandmothers name was Claire.
Love this quilt & it is so pretty in the fabrics you used. My great grandmother's name was Claire.
I 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 :)
My grandmothers name was Arlene. Beautiful pattern!
Waht a beautiful quilt!
My 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.
Oh, 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!
love this quilt and the fact that she is a Georgia girl too. My great grandmother's name was Geneva, miss her dearly.
Beautiful quilt.
Gertrude
great-grandma was Cecelia, a name I love for a woman I know very little about.
Merle Lillian. If I had a girl, she would have been Lilly...but alas...i'm a boy mom ;)
Beautiful quilt. My great=grandmother's name was Irema.
Having 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.
Thanks 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.
My 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!
Mine was called Gertrude.
What a delightful pattern!

One of my ggm's name was Myrtle and another was Lilly. Which is sweet--because they're both flowers!
beautiful quilt...my great grandmother's name was Francesca.
Well, let's see, my great grandpa on my dad's side was married 4 times...the only one I know the name of is his last wife and her name was Suzie. Don't know anything about my mom's grandparents at all, so Suzie will have to be it! :) Love your pattern and the story behind it!

I only knew one of my great grandmothers. Her name was Rose and she raised 7 children. She lived to be 99 but at the end she was so confused she would talk to the Kleenex box next to her bed. Oh....to think I could have those genes. My children are already teasing me about my mind failing!
My grandma's formal name was Lucinda, but friends and family called her Cindy.
I've totally blanked on her first name, but her last was Waggie-Nultemier. thanks for a chance to win. laurie

Although I never knew her (she died when my gramma was only sixteen), my gramma liked to share stories about her. My great-grandmother's name was Nellie...what a beautiful idea to name a quilt after your great-grandmother!
Absolutely adore this, Rachel. It's obvious there was a lot of love in the design. My special great-grandmother was named Julia. She was half Hopi Indian and the coolest lady. They say I look like her. :)
sarah ... love your quilt ... love the white and prints/ruby ... lovely! darlene
My great Grandma was Edith Emily. I love this quilt!
What a lovely tribute to your great grandmother Georgia! It's a beautiful quilt. Can't wait to add the pattern to my collection.

Lovely, lovely quilt. (And since I'm from Atlanta "Georgia", it's only fitting that I win one).
My grandmother's names were (get these weird names): Oleater and Ione (pronounced I-Own).
That is such a lovely pattern in that fabric collection especially. Would love to win the pattern since I have been transplanted here from the East Coast. I've never met any great grandparents OR grandparents except my mom's mom (Madeline). But I was told that her mother's name was Barbara.
