My grandmother used to make quilts and i would help her by basting the pieces of a yoyo quilt and making the little circles for her, i loved going through her fabric and her button boxes. When we went to visit her she would tuck us in and have so many quilts on the beds that once tucked in we coldn't move from the sheer weight of those quilts. LOL!
It always gave me comfort, feeling like i was wrapped up in her love.:)
I have one of the yoyo quilts that i helped her with, she was never able to finish it, she got very sick from breast cancer about that time and wouldn't seek treatment for it. I cherish that unfinished quilt and it will be passed down to my oldest granddaughter, hopefully with her help making some of the circles the cycle of life will continue and the love of quilting will be passed on to her and her grand children. That yoyo quilt is a wonderful reminder of the time my grandmother and i spent bonding by letting me help her and instilling the craft of quiltmaking into her oldest grand daughter as i am instilling into mine, so the circle of life continues.:)
