I enjoyed reading your memories. I don't have the memories of my ancestors doing quilting, but I do own 4 generations of quilts from my family. I love having them and often look at them and wonder just what was going on in their lives when they were sewing them. I have been doing genealogy for 30 years and know lots about these ladies.

My grandmothers both were wonderful seamstresses but did not quilt. One grandma made a crazy quilt and left it to me. I was the only GD on both sides of the family to do much sewing so I got a lot of things when they passed away but I also got a lot of one on one time with both grandmas that the other girls didn't get. That was the best part.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing a wonderful story. As a child there were
hooks to hold a quilting frame in the ceiling of my g-parents home. I knew that I wanted quilting hooks in my home when I grew up. No I don't have hooks in my seiling but I do have quilts in the making now. My family says I have sewing stuff all over the house. Sewing gives me the connection to past generations, my g-daughter is learning to sew. Memories need to past on.

My sister lives in okla, she is 78 years old and she has the quilter frame from the ceiling she wanted me to quilt last summer but it would have taken a lot of time i told her no call the quilting lady but we have a blast making the tops

What a neat story, thank-you for sharing! My Gram and a grand-aunt both make quilts. I'm 66 now but I can still see them in memory of years ago, sitting at auntie's kitchen table talking about blocks and colors, also about their embroidery. Sure makes me lonesome.

How lucky you are to have such beautiful memories!
