Good Friday morning. I thought I'd show you a couple of pictures of the quilt that my Mother's Grandmother made for her. She handpieced it I'm sure and then my Grandma had it quilted by machine in an all over pattern. I never knew this Grandmother...she was my Granddads mom...she passed away right before I was born.
We used this quilt all of the time when I was little and it shows. The fabric is thin in various places and the binding is just awful. It's that double fold binding that you buy in little packages at Walmart or Hancocks. I didn't come from a family of big quilters so I really treasure this quilt. Both of my Grandmothers did sew but they hated quilting. I do have quilts that they both made though...they thought it was a chore, imagine that...LOL I'll post pics of those quilts in a later post.
I hope and pray that everyone is safe from Hurricane Ike. It will probably affect our weather tomorrow afternoon, which affects my work plans. Oh well I've learned to roll with the punches. Also let me just add....I'm really getting sick of the presidential campaign...if you can call it that. That's all I'm gonna say! Have a great day.
