| Description: | Rachel Katherine Chamberlin Miner wanted to make a family quilt, but her health did not allow it. So, family members made two quilts for her in honor of her 85th birthday. This one was quilted by women in Castle Rock, Washington. Rachel Miner was born in 1897 in Oklahoma Territory and lived in Spokane for many years. She died in 1995. |
