This quilt was my Aunt Anna WORRELL's "friendship" quilt. I do not know who actually crocheted all those names. It could have been Aunt Anna or her sister Aunt Sarah or both. In any event Aunt Anna (1882-1967) or Aunt Sarah (1880-1954) made the quilt sometime during their lifetimes. They lived in both Perry and Bibb County AL, often going to take care of relatives for periods of time and the quilt represents friends and family from both counties.
I can identify some of the people:
> (1) Ora AVERETT (2) Celes WORRELL, my mother Celeste HOLIFIELD JENKINS WORRELL (3) Emma Lee SULLIVAN (4) Josie COLEY, my first cousin, Josie JACKSON COLEY wife of Thomas Bernis COLEY and daughter of Aunt Lona WORRELL and Carlos JACKSON son of Willis Bud Filmore JACKSON SR.

Ellen HOPKINS NICHOLS?) (78) Margie
> McCRAW (Could this be Margaret MITCHELL wife of Jesse Daniel MCCRAW? (79) Lela WORRELL, My cousin Lela WORRELL STEELE ROSE daughter of Uncle Nap WORRELL (80) Lavada (or Lanada?)

I should keep some kind of record when I find out who all these people are. If anyone knows any on the list please let me know and I will try to keep up.
