That's what I love about quilts, the connection to the lives of those who have come before us and have graciously left a piece behind for us to ponder over.

She probably didn't have the "rules" we have in place today that tend to inhibit our artistic talents. Such a nice comment you made, I wiped away a tear or two. My grandmother painted and played the piano.

You are right, we do very little 'making do' now. We run back to the store for more, or scour the internet trying to find older fabric. <br />I love your post about it, and I know you'll treasure it forever. Do you have any idea when it was made?

I researched my Dad's family history quite extensively and, like you, I could imagine myself talking to my ancestors....the research into their lives and the history at that time brought them "alive" for me..........my grandmother quilted but sadly none of her quilts came our way after she passed.

I have a quilt top that my great grandmother pieced and I have been hand quilting it on and off for a while now, for my mother. It is the only thing that she has that belonged to her grandmother. As I am quilting on it, I often wonder what was going on in her life at that time and what was on her mind as she stitched. <br /><brKristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928146431909761723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-16952166548360950082012-09-10T05:35:26.162-06:002012-09-10T05:35:26.162-06:00LovelyLovelySisbabestitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152833100530025983noreply@blogger.com
