My neighbour has a decluttering business for seniors...or whoever needs it.  She came across these quilts from one of her clients.  Isabel Brubacker.
Unfortunately she didn't label her quilts. But here are a few pics of 3 of them.  The first is a well used Dresden plate..some of the blades have disintegrated.   The back was not cut away, so the quilt is still intact.   Hand appliqued and hand quilted.

This quilt was made for the Centennial year,( 1967).  Made from a Chatelaine magazine pattern called Canada Rose Quilt- Centennial Heirloom  inspired by a then new hybridised rose by Fred Blakeney called Miss Canada..  The rose is shades of pink, cerise and wine
This green quilt is one of the three she showed me. Again, hand appliqued and hand quilted..  These last two quilts were put away and are as bright as the day they were made .
