i just got back from my brother's house. My little gma made each one of us kids a quilt. I wore mine out years ago, but have very good pictures of it with my daughter as a baby on it.
anyway, he gave me his. It's in a plastic zipped bag and I can tell this has not been the best place for it.
She was quite elderly by the time she got to my three younger brothers, and couldn't see well.
It is made of all kinds of fabrics, including some double knits and she did zig zag stitching thru all layers. I will still keep it and cherish it.
I will take it out of the plastic and maybe I could soak it, not sure.
This is it's last home and I am probably the last person that will really look at it and see my grandmother sewing it, piece by piece, thinking how much she loves the person it is going to. I am so happy to have it.:D
