Children & Quilts – 5 Favorite Posts

Children have been connected with quilts and quiltmaking since pioneering days. Either they were involved in making them (often learning at the early age of 6 or younger) or using them.
I recall, at 8-years old, sitting beside my grandmother and helping stitch the quilt she made for my bed. My mom tells about making quilts when she was 6-years old.
This seems an appropriate topic to write about in summer when youngsters may have time to become involved in quilting and fabric art activities with you. You can develop a quilting heritage as we have in our family.
Here are 5 of my favorite posts about children and quilts:
*Blankies – a Quilting Heritage from Moms & Grandmothers
*Beatrix Potter & Peter Rabbit Influence Quilters
Do you have any memories of children and quilting…either in your childhood or with your children? Do you have a quilt from childhood that gave you comfort?
