This quiltlet was made in honor of my mother,
Betty Colcock Kump
Artist, Wife, Mother, Friend
1922-1958

The photograph in the center was taken by my father about 1956, and is (of course) a picture of my mother at the ironing board. To sprinkle the clothes, she used a Coke bottle with a perforated stopper, then rolled them and stored them in the refrigerator until they could be ironed.
