Every once in awhile I pull the quilt out and look at it, thinking I really ought to finish it. I know that in time I will, and it will represent at least four generations of our family's history. I wish we could learn to live our lives in a way where every day we are striving to consciously make family memories that will stay with us forever. Whether she knew it or not, that is what my grandmother was doing, and I wish to take that idea and consciously put it into place in my daily life, as much effort as it sometimes seems. I know tomorrow I will be glad I did.
Suite 101 just happens to have their own Quilts and Quilting editor! Check it out and say hello to Jeanne. The World Wide Quilting Page lists many quilting how-to's, product suppliers, and other information to get you started. And if you have a quilt that needs to be finished or repaired, A Stitch in Time does very quality work at affordable prices.
