    Riley-You are so very welcome. I was inspired to do this room for my grands from a photo that I saw of Lynne Hagmire's quilt retreat bedrooms. I was just fortunate to have the quilts, I am still working on all the finishing touches--right now they "get into" too much!

    Oh my! "stood on the dresser"

    You're a brave women using your grandmother quilts made in the 30s or 40s. I'd be afraid to let anyone touch them.

    They are beautiful. It's so wonderful to have a tresure so lovely to share with your grandchildren.

    I do not have things in my house that are just for show. If it is there, it is to be used. I love the look of the old quilts and I want my grandchildren to understand when they are older that I thought they were special enough to sleep under these quilts. My brother and I slept under quilts my grandmother made when we were growing up and I want this same memory for my grands. To me, they are special because we use them, not because we have them.
