A few years ago, after the death of my beloved grandmother, while cleaning out her home, I found 6 bow-tie squares in her linen closet. they were hand stitched and made from feed sacks. Being only a grand daughter I wasn't in line to get any of her quilts, but I did get these blocks. I brought them home and looked at them for awhile. then, I decided to buy material and turn them into a small quilt. And that's how it began for me. Touching those hand sewn blocks, and loving them, a quilter was born in my heart. I still have those squares, made into a small top.I have yet to quilt it. always thinking I will add something to it,someday.Once I made that first cut of the fabric, there was no going back. I am just an old fashioned quilter. Loving the old patterns, and hand quilting. There is no rhyme or reason to what we do. But there is a lot of joy and satisfaction in the finished product. I have never made a quit without mistakes, always striving for that perfect point or square! :D :D
