    My Grandma was a special person too. She is the one that inspired my quilting. I still have 4 of her tops to be renovated and made into quilts for my siblings. She had stories aplenty, but would never share them with us. No idea why. I often wonder how she would respond if she could see my LA and some of the advancements made in the quilting industry

    This has been an interesting thread for me to read. Several years ago, a family history was written on my maternal grandmother's side of the family. I do have a copy of that book and have been able to keep things current so far as my own immediate family. Some years back a book was done on my husband's family, and we also have a copy of that book, but unfortunately, some updating needs to be done there. As for my father's family, there is only a sister-in-law of Dad's still living, and I really need to take a day and go visit with her and glean from her memories of the family. Family history is all too precious not to keep up with.
