You are so lucky to say the least............ I had a little quilt my grandmother made and an old wooden snow cutter she had used for my mother and her siblings. When we moved back to our home town my grandmother sent the quilt and cutter to my house so I could bring the kids over to see her and grandpa during the winter.......... I am sad to say the quilt got worn out and when it wasn't used in the cutter the kids had it with them all the time don't even have a picture of it..... I so wish I had that quilt or at least a picture.... You have such a treasure.

What a wonderful find! You say you "tucked it away again for safety". Why? It looks like it still needs a binding. Why don't you finish the quilt and display it at least once in a while. If it is tucked away it won't be enjoyed and eventually the fabric will deteriorate anyway from being folded. I say enjoy it.

Isn't it wonderful to have something that your grandmother made? I have an unfinished quilt that my grandmother made for my mother's wedding. So if I remember right the quilt is about 79 years old. My mom told me that grandma would look at a dress in the catalog and would make one just like it. Must be where I got my love of sewing.

I am going to add a label to the back so the story isn't lost. I've thought about rebinding it and displaying it sometimes on my stair rail. I need to get my puppy trained better so she won't decide it's hers and pull it down.
Thanks for all your comments of support and understanding.
What a great group of caring people!!
