Greetings From Arizona, A to Z Quilt

When Arizona turned 100 

in 2012 

many quilters throughout the State

paid tribute by creating

Centennial Quilts

Several of these quilts 

from the Prescott area

are currently on display

at the 

Sharlot Hall Museum

 Greetings From Arizona, A to Z

by Ann Novak

Chino Valley, AZ

 When Ann was a teenager in the 1950's, 

her family took a road trip

that included

following Route 66 through Arizona.

She wrote:

"I collected postcards along the way 

and my favorite cards featured

balloon letters filled with photo scenes."

 When it came time for Ann to show her love of Arizona

through a Centennial Quilt

she chose to combined personal photo's 

in a picture card format.

Have you collected postcards like these on trips?

I think it's interesting that the 

balloon letter format

 can still be found today

on State postcards.

Nice job Ann!

Viewing your quilt really took me on a trip down Memory Lane.
