I have been finishing quilts that my aunt made, i have made teddybears from old baby quilts that my grandmother made. I also include the history

For example: Made by Me, g'daughter of..... from quilts made by g'ma(date of birth & death) for Uncle Tub, son of G'ma & G'pa - married date...

I put as much of the family history & dates as i can. My hope is that the teddy bear, quilt, whatever, will be passed down thru the generations and they will always know where it came from.

My next project after my current G'ma's Flower Garden that i'm finishing for my aunt will be putting together a quilt from diamond shapes that my Grandma cut out before she died in 1945. I am going to make Carpenter's Wheel because i think it will show off the diamond shapes better.

She started tumbling block pattern - I'll use it for the label when i finish it - That may even get put on the front.
