My grand mother taught me to quilt starting about age 9 she told me great grand ma taught her because at that time you had to know how unless you didn't mind the cold winters. Quilting B's were a form of entertainment and a time for women to sit together in one place and just visit. She is never happy with her finished product, But the stories she can tell you about her quilts. Grandma says her quilts are her memories she's not perfect so why should her quilts be? Every mistake, every stich, every quilt is part of her life. She is proud of every quilt she ever made. Many have been lost over the years, but many have been passed on to the next generation. Grandma is helping me with a quilt for my grand daughters High School graduation gift for this June. Yes she is still with us at 101 yr. Blind but has a great sence of touch and as she says can still do a fair blind stich. So keep making memories one stich at a time.
