What a treasure!! I am tearing up myself, thinking about mothers and grandmothers. My mother was just starting her first pieced quilt when she passed away in 1999, a log cabin. So essentially, she got me started quilting, because I took it home and finished it to give to my Dad for Christmas that year. I have been hooked ever since. My grandmother did whole cloth tricot wedding quilts, and my great-grandmother was Relief Society charity quilt coordinator for over 50 years in Star Valley, Wyoming. Everyone in town would bring her scraps which she would cut apart, piece, and distribute to various groups to hand quilt. Only a few of her treasures are still in the family. I have one template of hers. Those women would have LOVED the modern gadgets; rotary cutters, embroidery machines, longarm quilting machines. I can sometimes sense them looking over my shoulder...
