Guess what?? I just heard from my Aunt and she is going to send me a quilt that my grandmother made! She and I are the only quilters in the family and I never knew she quilted. I wish she was still with us so we could quilt together. I am soooo excited, (can ya tell)? :lol:

I will take pics when I get it.

How wonderful for you!! I'd love to see pictures when you can.

Thanks, you betcha! I am so thrilled! :D

Good news Dawn. I have vintage quilts from a great-aunt, my mom, and one from mil and more from other family members. I Love mine and keep them in a cabinet so I can see them. I also keep a little cup of water in it and keep it full. Old trick to keep moisture in the air. Can't wait to see it. I am in the process of making labels for them so others know who's there were.

that is great news, I am excited for you

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see pictures of your new traasure.

How wonderful is that!!!!! I still have the Sunbonnet Sue quilt my great grandmother made for me when I was born (almost 60 years ago). Hand pieced and hand quilted. I also have a couple of other quilts she made that my mom passed on to me. I cherish them.

Wonderful!!!!!

That's awesome!
I have many quilts that my DGM made me and I cherish each one of them.

Debbie what does the water do? Won't that cause mold? I've never heard of that.

How sweet that your DA is sharing with you :D:D:D

Awesome! What great news. Can't wait to see a pic :)

Congrats! Nothing better than a quilt from a grandma. :-)

How wonderful. I know you will treasure it. I have a fruit basket quilt that my grandmother made about 60 years ago. Just looked it up on the internet to find it is a BOM and Rare.

Happy for you! I bet you can't wait to get it.

That is wonderful. I can't wait to see it.

Cant wait to see!!!!

That is wonderful.

So happy for you!

That will be a treasure! I am excited for you and anxiously awaiting pics.

Woohoo!

That is so cool! I sure wish I had some of the quilts I'm sure my Grandmother & her relatives made. I mean - corn farmers in the middle of Nebraska. You know those ladies made quilts for those cold winters!

That is great. Can't wait to see it.

How fortunate you are! Be sure to post pictures.

It will be a few weeks maybe because my Aunt has to mail it to me.

I can't wait to see the pictures! :D

Can't wait to see the pictures. Love the older quilts

That's awesome!! Can't wait to see it. When we got married 47 yrs ago, my Grandma asked if we wanted a NEW Bedspread or HER quilt she made BEFORE she married my Grandpa in 1917? I guess you know my answer...and I have loved it ever since. Someday I will get pics of it on here. Enjoy your quilt!

How exciting! I agree with everyone, would love to see it when it comes.

Very Cool!! I've got one that someone made for my mother from her dresses that she wore as a child. FULL of memories of her, even if I didn't receive it until after she passed. I look at it and smile, thinking of her.

can't wait to see a picture!!

It is such a good feeling to inherit a family quilt. I inherited a quilt from my grandmother a year before she passed 2 weeks before her 98th birthday (she died in 2010). It was a quilt that her mother's sister made for her in 1947. Totally done by hand. It was a proud day for me!!!
