Well, we got another snow storm up here.You know the kind of storm that sort of sneaks up on you. It doesn't seem to be snowing much, but it goes on for hours, and the next thing you know, one of us has to go out and move that snow around. One guess as to which one of us does that.
So I start to think of ways to add warmth to our life and for me that is with quilts, old and new.
Quilts are a lot like families. Some are bright and colorful,some are crazy, some are gussied up and some are old and faded. The latter can sometimes be the best.
Over time, both quilts and families may come apart at the seams and begin to unravel. Both can be repaired and are made stronger because of the repair
Families and quilts can keep you warm and give you comfort and both can become more special over time.
If you are ever given a quilt, love it, enjoy it, use it and treat it gently just as you would your family.
This picture is of a quilt that was made by my Grandma Rose, the pair of shoes in the upper right corner are hers and the picture is one of her and my Grandfather. I really didn't know him all that well, but my mom would tell us about him so I feel like I did know him.
Another quilt top made by my Grandma Rose....Love it.
Crib Quilt.
Doll bed mattress, comforter and pillow. Lucky little girl.
This blue quilt came from Ohio...I got it for $7.00, really. It is pieced on both sides, front and back. How neat is that?
Stack of crib quilts, the red and black one is 70 years old and it is heavy, not only did it keep baby warm it kept him in place.
I hope you enjoy your quilts if you have any, if not, start a collection, they are still quite affordable and they add a feeling of history to your life.
Well, that's all for this week, so......
From my Porch to Yours...
Have a blessed week
