My grandma, I called Memme. she used to have quilting frames hanging from the ceiling of the main room ( living room and her bedroom). I can still see her sitting there quilting all day, and then at night, she would tie the frames up high so that we could walk under them. If she wasn't quilting she was hand piecing sitting in her rocking chair. I use to sit on her foot box and watch her and listen to all the stories about our family history. I still remember them all. She was a great source of inspiration. My Mother was another mentor, she is 85 and still embroidery's quilts every day or applique them. She had a hard life, along with taking care of Memme for over 25 years. Memme was her mother-in-law. She always treated her with love and respect. She taught us how to treat other people.
