This is going to be a section devoted to stories about your quilts. I ask that you email me special stories about quilts that you have made or that have come into your possession. Please don't make them too long as I want to have room to keep several online at a time.

Let me be the first to share with you. I made a baby quilt for a little girl named Kaley that was born to friends of my daughter. She is now two years old and dearly loves the Disney Princesses. Her mother tells me she carries the quilt everywhere and calls it her "Princess Blanket". Now mind you, it does not have any princess fabric in the quilt but it warmed my heart to think of her dragging this quilt with her all the while thinking about her favorite characters.

This one from Pam will pull at your heart strings.....

After both of our parents died last summer, the job of cleaning out the house was left to me and my three siblings. Going through one of Mom's cedar chests, my sister and I found Dad's baby quilt, made in 1931. It had his name and the year, but no signature of who made it. It was ripped and one side was completely frayed, but it had potential. I have been working on it slowly, taking it apart and replacing some of the pieces. I have purchased a piece of 1930's fabric to replace the back. I hope to have it finished by the end of the year so I can give it to one of our daughters for her birthday in January. We moved away from near my parents several years ago, but my daughter and Dad carried on this special relationsip since she was a baby. I know this will be one of her best gifts ever and I can't wait to see her face when she opens this present.

Its funny - of all the times we used to go through that cedar chest with Mom, neither my sister or I ever remember the quilt.


Kathleen from Kansas sends a story to warm your heart:

My mother pieced a 1000 pyramid quilt in scrappy fabrics and completed the piecing at the end of 2003 when she was 86 years old. Her piecing was amazing in spite of failing eyesight and dexterity. She wanted to handquilt it, but was no longer able to do so. So, one of her last requests to me before she died in June 2006, was that I be sure to get it quilted for my dad. She finally had resigned herself to thinking it would be machine quilted. She had tried to quilt it in the ditch on her Singer Featherweight machine, and asked me to take all of those stitches out so that someone could machine quilt it. Finally, in Feb. 2007, 8 months after her death I felt like I could work on it. My mother had pin basted it and it was all ready for quilting. I took out all of her stitches and remembered that she had really wanted to hand quilt it. So, I put it in the hoop and started quilting by hand a quarter of an inch inside each triangle. I love to hand quilt and actually had gotten her started on hand quilting about 20 years ago. I finished the quilting and bound it with the fabric she had specified, in time to enter it in our county fair in July of this year. The fair board determined because she had actually pieced the quilt top, that it could be entered in her name and judged in the Over 70 age group. She was awarded the Grand Champion ribbon over all of the Fancywork. She would have been so thrilled. I have attached a picture that the local paper took at the fair. Thank you for letting me share.

Here's Kathleen with the quilt that she and her mother created.
