I inherited a VERY worn out quilt from my grandmother that was so threadbare I knew we could never use it at all--so I made a "thread-bear" from it!! (see pic below)
I am of the "love it to death" state of mind. I am lucky enough to have 5 quilts that my grandmother made and I put them on the beds for my granddaughters to sleep under--what memories we are making!!!
I have made quilts for each of my children and my grandchildren. They LOVE them and they USE them. I love to see my granddaughters snuggling on the sofa under their quilts watching TV, or having a picnic on it in the living room on a rainy day. The only quilts I have made that ever get tucked away are seasonal ones that come out for the holidays.
Katelyn, Emily and Madison on their last sleep over---cozy under their great-great grandmother's quilts!!
