They were always floraly and faded looking - perfect for dusting the house and not getting your good clothes mussed. The quilt looks just like the memory.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-16435456649633554802007-05-03T12:04:00.000-05:002007-05-03T12:04:00.000-05:00Lovely quilt, and enjoyed reading about "dusters"....Lovely quilt, and enjoyed reading about "dusters".ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337594132529976505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-21423293577475118902007-05-03T10:48:00.000-05:002007-05-03T10:48:00.000-05:00That quilt my not be YOU but it sure holds some sp...That quilt my not be YOU but it sure holds some special thoughts for you.

Didn't start calling it that til I moved to CT. Maybe it's a Massachusetts, New England thing. My sisters still call them housecoats and so do my nieces. Funny though, the boys call them bathrobes.! thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Penney and get her new ones in new colors, she had tons of them in her closet. I don't remember her wearing anything else. Anyway, I can see why that quilt reminds you of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-87579642568208282142007-05-03T08:13:00.000-05:002007-05-03T08:13:00.000-05:00Such pretty florals - soft and for me, filled with...Such pretty florals - soft and for me, filled with memories of Grandma, who made me two dusters, by hand, since she had sold her machine, when I went off to college. I wore those 2 dusters for many years - wish I had one now. No such thing is sold in stores, at least not with the same quality.<BR/><BR/>Your quilting is lovely.Elaine Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664504842156046995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-90947894382843546992007-05-03T07:19:00.000-05:002007-05-03T07:19:00.000-05:00Lovely quilting!!Lovely quilting!!Rose Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620700479783542350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-32672870028879378332007-05-03T05:25:00.000-05:002007-05-03T05:25:00.000-05:00Such soft, sweet colors!

Both of my grandmothers always wore what they called 'overalls' in the day and wouldn't have dreamed of just wearing everyday clothes without something to cover them up and keep them clean.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378836466869691917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-82895709301121895112007-05-02T20:23:00.000-05:002007-05-02T20:23:00.000-05:00This is a beautiful quilt.
