I fell in love with my grandmothers quilt which was a Sunbonnet Sue, with floral four sack pieces for the dresses, and pale pink sashing around the blocks. Would touch it and wonder where she received the material (flour sack) as they were migrant workers moving in and around Mexico, and eventually California.
Mom was an avid sewer, but never tried quilts. Fell in love with the theory and made quilts for every class I have taught (former teacher) and am now a principal and quilt in my spare (yea, right!) time.
Am beginning a sewing group at my school-if anyone is interested, I can give you the link for our wish lists, as my girls have never sewn and need skills, social time and great memories as I did when sewing with my mom, and other 4 h members.
