She loved looking at all the different fabrics that I included. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree--I remember spending hours looking at my maternal grandmother's and great-grandmother's quilts wondering "Who wore this fabric?" or "Where did this material come from?" Their work was an inspiration to me, though I didn't quite realize it at the time.
We never know what people will remember about us in years to come. I hope people remember about me, "She was a kind person, and she was a quilter."
I'm linking with Jo's Country Junction UFO Challenge.
You are a kind person, wonderful quilter and you have many other talents. Joelly still plays
ReplyDeletewith the rag dolls you made for Josey, forever ago ;-) Plus I think you are a great sister O:-)
Thanks, Sister! :)
DeleteAwesome! What a special treasure for your granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie. I'm glad she liked it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic that she treasures it. My family doesn't really rate my creations.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about that--they don't know what they are missing! I come from a long line of quilters--my family understands the tradition because of that, I think.
DeleteLove the picture of your granddaughter. You can tell she loves it. She will treasure it for many years to come. I see a future quilter.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful story:)
