#144 Josephine's Knot

Quilter & Sponsor Claudia Spearman

Designer Debbie Maddy,

The quilt block, called Josephine’s Knot, hangs next to the front door. Mrs. Spearman made the original cloth quilt while recuperating from gallbladder surgery. It is in honor of her father’s mother, Josephine Jones Spearman, who died when Claudia’s father, Jim Spearman, was a little boy. And it was her mother, Mildred Spearman who worked with the UHQT volunteers in painting the quilt block for the UHQT.

The pattern was designed by Debbie Maddy, teacher and founder of Calico Carriage Quilt Designs,
