I always feel guilty about peeking into the closet where many quilts are stored. I came from a family of quilting women but have never seen such handwork. Thank you Mother Lenore and all your generations of quilters. I hate sleeping under quilts b/c they are not warm!!! I usually snuggle under the handwoven blanket that Janice made. Some day I am going to steal it!! IT makes my heart so happy and kitties visit me during the night. THE BEST MOTEL EVER>>> and they keep the light on for me...lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396498563722858586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-50544371762436388912011-10-19T21:54:58.021-04:002011-10-19T21:54:58.021-04:00They are so beautiful!

I remember quilting bees where my friends and I would hide under the quilt and giggle until one of us stepped on someone's foot. then we would be evicted enmasse. What a wonderful, fascinating story! What memories!Diane Stringam Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629946536985545457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-39301545933439629932011-10-18T19:09:20.585-04:002011-10-18T19:09:20.585-04:00Oh, so many memories tied up in those quilts.

I can't do hand stitching anymore (injury to rt. arm and hand), but I enjoy piecing and machine work.<br />How lucky you and I are to have that as our heritage!Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-57723105712202723882011-10-17T10:10:50.515-04:002011-10-17T10:10:50.515-04:00My grandmother made some really odd looking quilts...My grandmother made some really odd looking quilts out of worn out clothing. No careful piecing and design, just fit pieces of scraps together until it was big enough to make a top and a bottom. Old worn out blankets would be sandwiched between and then she would hand quilt it all together. They were warm, but ugly!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-34364950669801572112011-10-16T18:22:47.600-04:002011-10-16T18:22:47.600-04:00Wow..that's a lot of detail work.Wow..that's a lot of detail work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
