see a LOT of declarations of "i'm not making heirloom quilts" and it always stops me.
what does it mean to say that with certainty?
the only way to know if a quilt will become an heirloom is to see 3 or 4 generations into the future. you never know what might be considered an heirloom from the point of view of the present.
this includes award winning show quilts. they may not endure at all, while that utility qult or memory quilt could find its way into collection for reasons we cannot predict.
always makes me think about the ways we make history is all
