I didn't know there was anything on a bed but quilts until I was in Junior High. That's all I ever and still have to sleep under. I remember sitting under a quilt on a frame threading my grandmother's needle's for her while she and her church group quilted. I have a Trip Around the World from her. My other gr mother died in 1937 when I was two, before she died she pieced a Diamond Field and a Double Wedding Ring for me, my mother finished it. I still use them off and on. My mother marked every quilt made in my Dad's family though the years. She & her sister passed a Grandmother's Flower Garden back and forth, 200 miles for 35 years, it's now on my bed. My mother made eight Rose of Sharon quilts and asked me to finished the 9th. I think I will start on that after I finish my grandson's quilt for high school graduation.
I have a photo book for both my mother and I with pictures of the quilts we have made.
