I have one of my Grandma's quilts (passed down from my Mom) in the Bow Tie pattern and it has many fabrics from the dresses she made for herself. I can still see my Grandma wearing those dresses. She also made a bright yellow and red solid fabric quilt using a pattern that I believe were stars and I remember no one liking it but me. I always wanted that quilt and wondered were it ended up. Grandma died when I was 12, so I was too young to ask and receive any quilts. I used to sit under my Grandma's sewing machine and pickup any thread and scrap she dropped. I remember my Mom calling me a packrat and Grandma telling her to let me keep it, that I would be a seamstress and quilter one day. I would try to sew those little pieces of fabric with those little scraps of thread and needless to say they never amount to much but I persevered.
