More about Maggie Atwood

 Here are more photos relating to Maggie's life. She washed clothes in the back yard in a "wash house" and she made quilts with her friends. I remember big hooks in her parlor ceiling where she hung the quilting frame on quilting days. Her favorite quilt pattern was the "double wedding ring."

Mama in a dress she made herself about 1928








On the west side of her house about 1958.  She was thin but the wash tub hanging behind her left arm makes it look strange.
Mama and her brother "Uncle Will."  she had eleven brothers and sisters.
