When Patricia's Great-Gramma Anna came to America as a child from Russia, the only things she brought along with her were her dress and the babushka she liked to throw up into the air when she was dancing. Anna outgrew the dress and her mother decided to incorporate it and the babushka into a quilt. Anna's mother used items from other family members to create a quilt that would be passed down from generation to generation. This quilt was used as a Sabbath tablecloth, a wedding canopy, and as a blanket to welcome each new child into the world. This quilt ties together the lives of four generations of an immigrant Jewish family and remains a symbol of their enduring faith and love.
