When I was a young girl my Mom...I love that story. When I was a young girl my Mom had me sew squares together, I had a dream of doing a patchwork quilt (Little House era), well that never happened with those squares, however when I got married she took all those squares and made me a throw quilt with them then presented it to me at my shower. I'll always cherish that one more than the other's that I've made myself. It had much more meaning to me.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000386240372946287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-84035414771152261942019-02-01T14:32:25.027-05:002019-02-01T14:32:25.027-05:00Your quilt is beautiful and what loving memories. ...Your quilt is beautiful and what loving memories.

It will probably take me the same amount of time as you took, all done by hand, I think, makes it so much nicer!! My needle of choice is a tapestry needle, I only have one so I'm being very careful with it!! Beautiful job, you should definitely do another!!!Ms. Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248066514116503244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-43954388951284285192018-01-29T11:16:13.356-05:002018-01-29T11:16:13.356-05:00I love that . . . being able to wrap up in a quilt...I love that . . . being able to wrap up in a quilt filled with loving memories:)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-14712571467024033702018-01-29T02:12:07.401-05:002018-01-29T02:12:07.401-05:00You did a wonderful job on the quilt!

You ...What a wonderful memory maker you have there. You did a wonderful job on that quilt and unbelievable that you didn't break that needle along the way. lol I think self-taught is really the best sometimes. <br /><br />I have a couple of old quilts that my grandmother made from scraps from clothing she sewed, dresses and aprons and pinafores, etc. A lot of those old scraps came from the chicken mash that was sold in calico fabric bags--I think they were 100# bags. My mother would spend quite a while picking out the bags she wanted..and then the feed would be dumped into a bin and the bags washed for use as material. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Sunday- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
