15 years ago we had what I think was our final family reunion on my maternal grandma's side. My Great-Grandma was the best homemaker around and made EVERYTHING from scratch. She canned, baked, gardened, farmed, sewed.. she did it all because that's what you did in her day. Because she was getting older and losing the use of her hands, she decided to make a quilt top for each of her grand and great-grandchildren. This was like.. over 20 I think? Anyway.. we each got one full of scraps from her collection. It was up to us to quilt them. I'm sure many never got quilted.. but I'm proud to say that mine is going to be done soon! My aunt helped me put it together and I'm quilting it BY HAND around each square. My goal is to have it done by the end of the year.. I'm excited to keep her memory in mind and appreciate her hard work.
