I'm glad you shared your story with us. It reminded me that my Mom just told me the other day about a quilting frame her mother had that hung from the ceiling. Too bad I was so young when Granny passed that I never got to talk to her about quilting, and my mother never did it. My mom sewed a lot, and did needlepoint and cross stitch and embroidery, but no quilts.
I would have loved to seen Granny's ceiling frame. I wonder what happened to it?
You do have such a wonderful quilting heritage! And it sounds like you really treasure it, too. I've known so many people that don't, you know?
Ive only been on this site a little while, but it is great! The people here are so awesome, and talented, whew, there is some talent here!
