Great-Grandma's Pillow


While looking for a few castaway treasures from Grandpa and Grandma's home, I came across Great-Grandma's pillow. The worn applique on black caught my eye. I began to look more closely to decide whether this was a treasure to keep when I caught site of a bit of embroidery underneath. No more did I wonder if this pillow was coming home with me.

At home I began to dissect. Out came a beautiful embroidered basket of flowers. But there was more.


 Mom finished the excavating process and found three more layers of pillow coverings making a total of five. If this pillow could speak, it would have many stories to tell.
