A memory from your childhood - what kind of quilt comes to mind?
Both my grandmothers sewed quilts. One made quilts that were so heavy you could hardly breath under them lol. My grandpa sold them to long haul truck drivers. My other grandmother made beautiful quilts - the one in particular that I loved was her Sunbonnet Sue and Sam quilts. Back then we called them Dutch Doll Quilts. My sewing machine is on order and that is the first quilt I want to make. I am getting back to quilting after 30 years. I was much younger then and they were easy quilts to do. I got out of quilting when I got hooked on the internet playing games in the 90s.
Another memory from the 1950s is that both my grandmothers went to quilting bees held at a neighbor's old 2 story house. I was lucky that both my grandmothers were also my neighbors too, so I had the best of both worlds. A wonderful memory! Merry Christmas e1! I hope all your Christmas wishes are fulfilled.
