I find myself wondering where the fabrics came from - were they from clothing, or curtains, or perhaps an extravagant purchase specifically for the quilt?

It kind of brings a new definition to the word SHARING. Glad I live in your world.

She had no children, so I was the lucky girl who got her handmade Grandmother's Garden. I only saw her once when she traveled across the country for a visit, but I felt connected to her and to quilting because of that gift. I am grateful for all my quilt connections... blogging included!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885971111481307432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-88476647940639263982011-03-24T13:35:18.433-04:002011-03-24T13:35:18.433-04:00Very well said, Jessica.
