Whenever I’ve shared my memories of quilting with my grandmother and talked about my quilting heritage, other quilters have responded with their memories. My most recent posts on this topic were :
A Tribute to My Grandmother for My Quilting Heritage.
A Tribute to Grandparents Who May Have Encouraged Your Quilting
One reader shared her memories. This reflects the resourcefulness of her grandmother, too. As I’ve mentioned, quilters of days ago recycled and reused old fabrics and clothing. Nothing went to waste.
I have wonderful memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to quilt. She made quilts from old clothes that no one could wear anymore. We would sit on the sofa and she would trace a square pattern from a piece of card board that she had made. I still have some of these quilts today. They are colorful and d many great memories.
What wonderful memories!
What are your quilting memories? They don’t have to be with Grandma. Perhaps your mom, an aunt, a family friend, or a teacher quilted with you and provided you with reminiscenses.
