i've been finishing quilt tops made by others. I also made teddybears out of quilts that my grandmother made. I put gift tags on the teddy bears that said something to the effect of:
I am made from quilts made by Alta ****(Born: 1/1/1895; Died: 12/25/1944) married to Harry *** on 00/12/00. Given to son,Richard 'Hank'***(born 00/00/00) Made by grandaughter and niece Becky ****** (born 4/11/00)
I then signed my name and dated it.
I include as much family history because it is my hope w/ what i am currently working on, that these things will be passed down to future generations after I am long gone.
btw - there was enough of the tattered quilts remaining from my grandmother that i was able to get 5 teddybears - one for my mom & each of her 4 brothers.
