Timeline

I first began working with Jo in 2010 when she created a jaw-dropping ancestry book for me to give to my first cousins for their Christmas gift.  We all had grown up with stories of the families involved, but she found records we had never seen, history we never knew and put it together in a manner that caught the attention of even the least interested family members.

She went on to create 3 more family ancestry books for me in 2011, 2012 and 2013, each one unique and equally amazing.  They are family treasures.  She shared the sources where she found information, and was as excited as I was when she found something new.

unique gifts and keepsakes- mug rugs

What is a mug rug exactly and what would you use it for?  A mug rug is something between a coaster and a placemat. The mug rugs I create  are 10″ wide and 7″ high with several different quilt designs shown below. The photo can be up to 5″ x 7″ depending on the quilt pattern you choose.

What is special about these mug rugs is the inclusion of an ancestor’s photo provided by you and printed directly on specially created fabric just for this purpose. 

These charming mini quilts are essentially designed to be used as snack mats but their versatility extends to so many other uses. Set one on your coffee table as protection from a candle or on your dresser to display your grandmother’s perfume bottles.  The ideas are endless.

Made from 100% cotton fabric, batting and thread mug rugs are a snap to throw in the washer. The printed photo is color fast through a special process. Several color choices are available or you can provide your own.  

Several quilt patterns are available as seen below with your colors of choice.

  • $15.00 plus shipping

want something more? Maybe a lap quilt

What is a lap quilt you might ask? A lap quilt is about one-half the size of a king size quilt. A lap quilt is generally about 60″ x 44″ however it can actually be whatever the quilter wants. My ancestry quilts are generally 60″ x 60″ and are in a reverse pedigree chart design starting with great grandparents, then grandparents, parents and ultimately the root person. Each block is 12″ x 12″ separated by a 2″ strip.  There are four blocks across the top and four block rows down.

Jo is a delight to work with. She is a thorough researcher, and she is also an excellent speaker. Our local genealogical society has had her speak more than once. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a quality product and a wonderful experience.
