The above quilt is called Cameo Rose. It was a kit by Bucilla Jiffy Cross-Stitch Quilt No. 2889. Hmmm, wonder what was so "Jiffy" about it? The blue marking on it?
The finish quilt should measure 81 x 108 (double-sized quilt with a drop).
This next quilt I do not have any information on it. Someday I will research it. I think it would be by the same company. I also have some of the catalogs from which my grandma ordered things. I'll look through those. She usually did everything by hand (quilting and all) except for sewing the seams together which she did with her old Singer treadle sewing machine. She entered quilts and crocheted items in the Ohio State Fair every year--and usually won!

How lucky you are. Amazing work and a cherished treasure to find.
oh my word... that is absolutely beautiful and so very special! I am stopping from the WIP hop, I would love to have you drop by my post: http://domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2013/01/its-wednesday-wip.html
OOOOH MY! That would probably give me some incentive to quilt or pure mortification!
Wow - those are amazing and what an incredible heirloom!
Just stunning. Those are true treasures to have.
