My granny was my inspiration, and still is. As a kid my family spent almost every weekend at her house, summers I'd spend at least a couple of weeks and every holiday was spent there. Granny quilted and was always working on some quilt blocks. She did all of her quilts by hand, hand pieced and hand quilted. I'd sit beside her on those long summer days while she pieced and watched her stories. She let me use all the scraps I wanted and I would piece quilts for my dolls. They were shapeless pieces of fabric sewn together, but they worked. Now 20 years after she has passed I've taken up quilting. I'm still very new to it but I do love it and I'm proud to take up the torch and hopefully pass it to my daughter.
