I have added a few new pictures to Mom’s album on the dotphoto site, take a look when time permits. This is one of them, one I haven’t seen in a long while. So good to see that smile, and I can almost smell the turkey cooking!

Four sisters visiting Jean’s Quilt Shop in Norfolk, NE in May 1984 . Her shop was the “Quilt Patch” and it was a lovely shop and best of all was the knowledge she had to help her customers figure out how much fabric was needed, helped select colors and and give all kinds of practical advice.

Mom’s creations September 24, 2007

Posted by Craig Nelsen in : 7. Jean Magnuson , 6comments

Mom was pretty creative as most of you know. Sewing and crafts occupied a lot of her time after retiring, even to the extent that she found herself the President and Director of the Arts Club in Bella Vista, AR. This picture shows some of the things she “created” for the Christmas season at the Arts Gallery there in B.V. While I think all of her kids still have quilts Mom made for us, the little decorative things shown here had kind of slipped my mind until I came across this photo and asked Claudia about it. I have more photos and with Marty’s guidance I’ll try to get a photo album started over on the family photo page.
