"Grandma McClure at home in Tennessee"

Grandma McClure is a self taught Artist since the 1930.s when  she was a teenager.  Malinda spent 16 years on a quilt that has every bird and every state flower of all 50 united states. Each name is hand embroidered below each quilted image.  This beautiful quilt was started at age 67 years and finished at age 83 years.  When she finished it, she gifted it to the McMinn County Museum in Athens Tennessee where it is now part of their "Permanent Collection".

Grandma McClure is one of the few people left who know how to make corn husk dolls.  One of Malinda's " Wood Veneer "Artworks was featured in a newspaper some time ago but a heart attack and complications from it caused some memory loss as to the exact date and paper.  Nevertheless, Grandma McClure is a Tennessee Sweetie who upon learning about the www.DisabledArtistsNetwork.net exhibit, sale and Xmas Party decided to donate two of her artworks for the benefit of Ukraine's Homeless Children managed by the "Our Ray" organization.

Please view the beautiful work of Malinda McClure below. and if you would like to drop a line to Grandma just click here:  WandaNicholas@cs.com and I will forward it to her Grandson Nathan whom takes care of and watches out for her.
