I was kinda nervous bringing that treadle in the entryway. That floor is Marble and is the original floor that was put in 1951. I love marble floors but it is a bear to take care of.
I really had an opportunity to visit with my MIL just by working on my copy of her quilt. Going over the original one with a fine tooth comb taking measurements and feeling the materials really got to me. Its just a shame she could not be here to tell me the story behind it and why she did certain things that she did.
When it comes time to recreate the original with hopefully the same if not very similar fabrics that will be the quilt with the most meaning behind it!
Valerie really wishes I could have met her mother, but I am getting to know her now and she is speaking to me through what she made. And I think she is talking to her daughter also...........
