Hello and welcome from southeastern Oklahoma. My maternal grandmother is the person who encouraged me to hand quilt. She gave each of my sons a hand pieced quilt top and told me to get needle and thread and quilt them. I am still working on them - but very slowly. She is now 91 years old and in the nursing home. She has had several health scares during the last 3 or 4 years and quilting on these 2 quilts gives me peace as I remember the good times we have had thru the years. So keep on remembering your grandmother as you are quilting.
