I Have HuFamily History!! Who Knew?!
Well who the heck knew??? I certainly did not!!
My Mom has a Family Bit of History…under which I play efurry night!!! Woo Hoo!!
…so I am just relaxin’ under this quilt thingy ALLLLL the TIME…notice how comfy I am??…..
…then Mom tells me ” Savvy (they call me that as an affectionate name…purrr)..you do know that right above you is the name of my Great Aunt Mamie Pinson???? (ya, right, I totally got that when I don’t even know my own feline mom???)…
…then Mom makes me focus…and what do ya know…there is her Great Auntie’s Name…and then I ask…”why is her name up there?” Mom says…”Savvy, that is my Grandmother’s ‘Furriendship Quilt’…made by all her furriends, well, really ‘hufriends’…back in the 1920s…and Mamie is my Grandmother’s sister-in-law…now I am confused…but whatever…
…”and here is my Great Grandmother’s Name…she was my Grandmother’s husband’s Mom”…(now I am totally confused??!!)…but I can tell this is important to Mom …and even, maybe to me???…
…then I ask about the weird lookin’ stuffed bear…and the red and blue quilt above him…and Mom says…”well, Banana Cakes (OMC! she does call me that!)…”first the quilt was made by my Great Grandmother Rodgers…about 1890…and the Teddy Bear is the first toy anyone gave my Mom and Dad before I was born…he is actually 4 days older than me!! (errr, ummm how old is that Mom???…just askin’…probably older than dirt…umm…older than electricity…umm…I give up)…
…then Mom spreads another quilt on our bed to show me, the one in between the huFriend Quilt and the older than dirt really old quilt…and she tells me this is called a “Great Star of Texas” quilt pattern…(probably just a big star)…but my Mom’s Grandmother made it…in about 1965. So I’m thinkin’…”big deal”…not very old…
…then Mom tells me that her Grandmother made this quilt outta left over material my huMom’s mother used to make Mom’s dolls’ clothes…long story short…this is a TOTALLY important quilt to my MOM! NOW I GET IT!!! I HAVE HUFAMILY HISTORY!!!
…pretty colors, huh??!!
So this is how I learned I have huFamily History…even some on my huDad’s side…but I play, rest and nap under my Mom’s HuFamily History most efurryday…we take pictures of me there…and I wanted ya to know the story…

Love the quilt we want to snuggle on it xxx
I enjoyed your family history Savannah. Those are beautiful quilts. I have one made by my grandmother, and even though it is very worn I treasure it.
yesp..Mom was lucky she started to ask for any quilt even if they are frayed…none of the other cousins wanted the ‘bad ones’…haha MOL
Those are very pretty and full of love and comfy!
yes, they are truly comforting knowing how long each took to make
Wowee. What great blankies! Whee want our Mummy to make a patchwork quilt of all our favourite fabrics and things. Not sure how she will fix newspaper and hay to it, but that’s her problem! 😉

ahahhaha! MOL yep, the hay will be a challenge!
Such beautiful quilts and so full of history! Thanks for sharing. My aunt is a quilter and she has made some beauties over the years 🙂
Those are beautiful quilts. I wish I still had some of my family’s quilts.
Mom is fortunate that she started asking for them when no other relatives wanted them…she has about 14
Way cool Savannah…..as you know, I frequently nap on top of a quilt given to my Grandmother as a wedding gift by HER Mom……and that quilt sits on top of a chair that belonged to my Dad’s Mom…..so I too am surrounded by family history and like you – it makes me feel so CONNECTED to my human family. It’s pretty cool isn’t it?! The quilts your Mom has that you lie under are BEAUTIFUL……and the teddy is cute too.
