Sherry Ann, I think this is an incredible piece of history for your family and I truly feel honored for you to share. Truly inspirational. I had a great grandmother and grandmother who quilted and despite her 10 children, it has skipped a generation to me. None of her 3 daughters quilt, and other than my father sharing memories of him as a kid holding the quilt frame for his grandmother, it has come to me to carry on the tradition. Thanks for the incredible inspiration! Tresia Nwamadi
ReplyDeleteThank you tresiarth for the encouraging words...you have made my day. And I wish you the very best in your efforts to preserve your family's quilt making legacy. Some one should do it and you seem quite dedicated to the cause.May Jehovah the Universal God bless you to capture the essence of your family's history in a chronicle that can be passed on to generations to come.Focus and stick to your goals...the best is yet to come.
