When I was in college, one of my classes ended up taking me down a path of interviewing and recording the history of quilting in our family. Relatives came from far and wide and shared wonderful stories with each other. It was such a memorable time! That generated an interest inside me to try to learn the art, and the relatives were thrilled that someone from my generation took the baton. Although I rarely have time for it at the moment, so many of my favorite memories are quilting (and shopping for fabric!) with my mother. These pics are of her at the quilting machine and both of us in front of the one of the quilts we made together.
Journaling: Quilts are a strong part of our family heritage, tracing back to at least my great-grandmothers. I feel so fortunate to have a beautiful, tangible display of love to curl up in on a cold day. And it's something we both love to do!
