Vintage quilts

When Jayde was visiting she announced that she has learned to crochet. I told her my grandma was
very crafty and loved to crochet, embroider and quilt. I have so many amazing items that she called her "fancy work".
Jayde is working on a "top secret" project but she said she would teach me to crochet when she was finished.
How sweet is that?

I pulled out quilts that my grandma had made. The little girl is me. My initials are on the lunch pail and the year 1959 is when I started kindergarten. Almost 50 years ago.


Here is a shot of the entire quilt. Very much loved.















This quilt was made by my great-grandma. I'm not sure of its age but it is in beautiful condition.

My grandma was working on a quilt top when her eyesight started to go.
She gave it to me when I was pregnant with my first son 30 years ago. She passed away shortly after that.
Although I have never quilted, I think it is time to buy quilting 101 and finish it.
