Stories: Passing Quilts Down
I found this great story online about passing a quilted heirloom down at the Christian Science Monitor: A grandmother’s love lives on – through a quilt. I do have to warn you, though, if those old AT&T commercials used to make you shed tears you should probably grab a box of tissues when you read this.
Personally, I have a quilt that my mother made that I had on my bed as a child and I hope to give it to my daughter someday. I’m not as brave as the woman is in this story giving it to a 3 year old. Mine is worn but may not be able to be repaired to the point of having it on an active 6 year olds bed. I would really just like to reproduce the quilt. Of course that is easier said than done.
Question of the day: Do you have any family quilts you received or plan on handing down?
