Cooking with the Trails End Quilters

Image:sxc.hu

My quilting heritage descends from the Trails End Quilters.  The ladies who lived at Trails End Farm were my ancestors.   My mother and aunt also grew up there.

I’ve been fortunate to have a cooking notebook that my aunt compiled.  In it she includes recipes from her grandmothers, her mother, other relatives, friends and neighbors.  It’s somewhat a cooking history of the ladies associated with Trails End.

 (Incidentally, it was called Trails End because….the farm was at the end of a dirt road or “the trails end.”)

Ah…to have the time to compile these recipes into a family cookbook, with photos and stories about the Trails End family and friends.  This is another way to preserve one’s family heritage and pass it along to future generations.
