I learned from from my Grandmothers they both quilted. My Maw had a quilting frame hung from the ceiling (I am blessed to have it now)she either tied or quilted on it. My Grandmaw had a large hoop she used. My cousin who found it in my Aunties things gave it to me last summer. I would do blocks thing they were just small quilts like theirs. Then learned to sew four blocks together. Boy would I like to go back sit in front of Maws old stove & quilt w/ her Memories are Great.
