     I found an old Black & White photo (2” x 3”) that two of my great-aunts were in and decided to make a quilt of it.  I really enjoyed making their outfits and hats!  There was a boy in the photo also, but I cut him out, I wanted this to be all about the GIRLS!!!

    This reproduction of an old black & white photo (circa 1920’s or 30’s) includes two of my great aunts.  They are Doris Mahannah, far left, and Mernie Mahannah, center.  The girls are sitting on their suitcases, waiting at the bus station in Kingman, Kansas.  The faces, hands, and arms are photo transferred for their exact likeness.  I really enjoyed creating their garments and hats from a variety of fabrics.
