When my Grandma Carle was born, Anna wrapped her

daughter in the quilt to welcome her warmly into the

world. Carle was given a gift of gold, flower, salt, and

bread. Gold so she would never know poverty, a flower

so she would always know love, salt so her life would

always have flavor, and bread so that she would never

know hunger.

Carle learned to keep the Sabbath and to cook and clean

and do washing.

“Married you’ll be someday,” Anna told Carle, and. . .

again the quilt became a

wedding huppa, this time

for Carle’s wedding to

Grandpa George. Men

and women celebrated

together, but they still did

not dance together. In

Carle’s wedding bouquet

was a gold coin, bread, and salt.
