My grandma gave me all her quilting things when she went to live with my momma when her health was failing and she could no longer sit at her hand quilting frame and here are some of the treasures I recieved...
The tops still need quilted.. but I dont mind! :)

My great grandmother made these blocks

That is so cool! I felt the same way when I received a box of doilies that my grandmother had crocheted...I still treasure them. Good for you!

You are so lucky to get these treasures passed on to you!

How very lucky you are to have received your grandmother's treasures. I am sure it helped her transition to living with your mom easier. Just knowing you would use what she gave you has to mean so much.

What a heritage! Just think of what you can tell your children in years to come...started by your grandma or great-grandma, and finished by you!

How great for you to inherit these. Have fun with them.

Suz 09-10-2011 06:14 AM

Absolute treasures!!! Now you will always be able to remember the one who got you interested in quilting. My Gram piqued my interest when I was about 8 years old. A group of her friends were seated around a quilting frame in the front bedroom (the bed was under the frame) and they offered me a needle. I took a few stitches which I sure they pulled out after I left, but I said then, 'one day I will do this". I wish she were here so I could show her what I am doing because of her.

brewsa 09-10-2011 06:45 AM

You're so lucky! Beautiful quilt tops!

luce321 09-10-2011 09:03 AM

Your Grandmother has passed on some real treasures to you and I know you will enjoy completing them.

Oops! sorry for the repeat.

amizjeanne 09-10-2011 10:08 AM

What treasures.

Toto's Mom 09-10-2011 10:13 AM

So glad you got the treasures. She knew you would be the right recipient. Sadly, so many Grandmothers work goes to the thrift stores after they pass on, and nobody appreciates their work.

jeanne307 09-10-2011 10:15 AM

Awesome... My grandmother did the same thing for me before she died... I treasure those quilt tops and will one day get them quilted.... They are awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

Annz 09-10-2011 10:53 AM

How lucky are you to have a gm who quilts and passes it along to you and she is very lucky she was able to pass on her work to someone who will appreciate it.
