- Quilt #2, Wedding Band: Leah Bauder Reisner
CARE: Ideally, quilts are never washed; only spot cleaned and refolded periodically to rotate the stress on the fibers. If they must be washed—which WILL decrease their value—do not launder these as you would most things. There is a specialty detergent Orvus, and great care must be taken in handling antique quilts so that stitches are not broken. If you must clean them, do the research on how to care for an heirloom. The book First Aid for Family Quilts is a good resource. - Quilts, 2 Wedding Band Style Twin Quilts: Leah Bauder Reisner Duff
Kathy's note: "made by Kathy's g. grandmother Duff." These teal edged quilts were hand made by Nerva's mother. Leah BR Duff is Leah, Chris and Boh's great, great grandmother. She is emerging in this collection as the only identified maker. How wonderful that I also found a thimble engraved with her initials, "LBD" [Leah Bauder Duff], maybe the one she used to make these quilts! Jan said this one is hand-quilted, hand pieced and hand-hemmed (at least on the front side).

(Leah also made one with a yellow border, identical in design, that was given to Chris Bohannon as a graduation gift.) - Leah Bauder Reisner Duff?
