A Quilt for Sophia?

At the last Boyd Cousin Connection, cousin Jane shared a series of quilt blocks embroidered by our ancestors.  Our best guess is that they were made to eventually put into a quilt for grandma Sophia.  The question now. . . what to do with the blocks??  Go forward in making a quilt?  Or share them with descendants who might be interested in framing and enjoying their family members' block.  

There are a couple of blocks with names I'm not familiar with.  Does anyone know who these folks are and how they are connected to the clan??  Dell & Emmet - Leslie & Annie all from Oakland, CA.

Others are sisters, cousins or children of Sophia Thornburg Boyd.

 

This set of blocks is especially fun for me.  On the left, stitched by my great grandma.  On the right, a rendition of the old Sea Captain's ship, stitched in Winner, SD, once my home, too!

Celebrating America!

This young group of boys from Norfolk, Nebraska was taken in about 1915.  My Grandpa, Bob Palme was involved in this patriotic celebration.  He's 2nd from the left on the front row.  Quite the group.  Colorizing really brings this to life!

Time for some "cousin crowdsourcing" to help identify all of the family in this photo!  My mom, Carol Palme is the little girl in her grandma's arms in the middle of the photo.  She called to my attention that this photo was most likely taken in June 1936 when she was celebrating her 1st birthday.  I recognize a few faces here.  Can you help identify the rest??

I can pick out Bob Palme, Robert Palme, Jessie Boyd Mowery, Ethel Boyd Palme, Ruby Boyd Mills, Sophia Thornburg Boyd, Eugene Mowery, Edith Boyd Johannes, Anne Boyd Weber, Minnie Mary Boyd Sedgwick, Marylou Sedgwick.
