[BCMA] Bedspread to donate

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello All

Burnaby Village Museum has been offered a double bed size bedspread that is similar to others we already have so we are passing the information on to the list.

>From the donor:

Enclosed are pictures of grandmother Elsie McKee's (Mackenzie) crocheted (maybe knit) bedspread which she finished when she was 80 years old. She was my husband's grandmother. She moved to Vancouver in 1911 and married George McKee, the school principal in Vancouver, where she taught.
She gave the bedspread to me in 1968 which makes it 49 years old. It was never used. I believe it is made out of ecru cotton yarn. It measures approx. 8 feet by 7 feet. It is large enough to reach the floor on both sides of a double bed. It is on a queen size bed in the pictures.

I have attached two images.

If you are interested in the bedspread contact me at the email below and I will give your contact to the donor.
