We all have one or two items that become a beautiful heirloom from a loved. It’s something we’ve received as a gift or has been handed down.
This quilt is my empowerment. This quilt started me on a ride that I’ve been on for over 40 years, quilting. So today, I’m share my FAVORITE quilt !
My Great-Great Grandmother’s Quilt This quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother.
Making it my, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME !Well…That’s how I like to look at it. I never met her and my mom only remembers helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright.
These carry more than just aesthetic value, they carry a story, a memory, and a treasure that is truly priceless. For me, it’s my grandma’s pearls. I wear them on special occasions to this day. This is her (Grandma Glade) on the left in the picture, with my Mom and is on the cover of my, The Quilt Ladies Book.
My grandma was a fashionable lady, from furs or jewerly. She loved to accessorize her outfits and her favorite was a strand of pearls. Pretty sure they were a gift to herself, but I have not way to knowing that. Remember to cherish the things that really matter.
