Treasure Chest Thursday: My Sunbonnet Sue Quilt

Sunbonnet Sue Quilt
Made by Gladys Lane Schooler for niece Elizabeth Lane Lee
c. 1965

When I was very young, my Aunt Gladys made me a beautiful quilt.  Made of alternating pink and white squares and Sunbonnet Sues each in her own unique dress, the quilt was this little girl's dream.  It stayed on my bed, unless I took it with me when I curled up on the couch to read or watch TV.  I always liked to pick out my favorite Sunbonnet Sue.  Here are my favorites today :)

Joyce Schooler, c. 1944

When I got married in 1990, my first cousin, Joyce Schooler Reedy, gave me a copy of a cookbook she contributed to and helped assemble.  Joyce is a grandchild of William and Martha Lane, the oldest child of Gladys M. Lane and James Schooler, and the mother of Terry Keith Reedy, Pamela B. Reedy, and Rolf  Reedy.  AND she's a wonderful cook!  Below is her recipe for Buttermilk Pie taken from page 75 of the cookbook Oak Ridge Woman's Club Recipes.  Thank you, Joyce!

Family Group Sheet for William Bowman Lane

Today I want to share the Family Group Sheet that I've created for the William Bowman Lane family in Family Tree Maker 2012 software.  One of my favorite things about this software is the way it syncs with my Ancestry.com account.  Each time I open my Family Tree Maker, all the research I've saved on Ancestry automatically downloads and organizes itself onto my Family Tree Maker.  Sources, photos, information--everything can be shared between these two sites.  These have been really helpful tools for me as I research my family history.  Also, I LOVE the options on Family Tree Maker that allow users to create various genealogy reports such as the following family group sheet about my mom, her parents, and her siblings.
