WMUTeach -- you are now the quilting history maker in your family. I see you holding that olympic torch up high as you lead us along the path to making our own amazing quilts. Sharing quilting stories is great fun. I love that the quilts made in your family have all been used to shreds.
Here's another story for you all... I just found out that my cousin has put me in her will to get my great-grandmother's quilting frame. I have been trying to pick it up for about 30 years but don't have a truck long enough. I'd rather gather it before she passes because heading up for the funeral is not the best time to collect something like that. She just turned 80 and her daughter insists she has another 30 years to go. I like the way they think!
