Though, my mom had 15 brothers and sisters so you'd think my grandma would be huge into this type thing. Certainly wasn't passed on!

When I did my very first wall hanging, it is 9 different blocks. I kept a journal as I did it, and there were tears shed as I thought of my late grandmother and all the quilts she made. I always remembered seeing a quilt on a frame she was working on. She sewed on a treadle sewing machine. <br />I am blessed to own a quilt by each of my late grandmothers, my husband's late grandmother and I also have a few crocheted afghans and lots of doilies. <br />I have a few antique quilt tops I bought from an elderly lady. One is at least 75 years old, and made out of feed sacks. She told me she asked her husband to get a certain pattern to have enough. She never finished it, and every stitch in it was hand stitched, no machine.Kathy Heare Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428145822002030608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-43233768177597104582016-12-05T09:19:13.438-08:002016-12-05T09:19:13.438-08:00Hi Penny!
