That's exactly why I want to quilt a baby quilt from the scrap cloth of garments made for the grandchildren.stitchesthrutimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592361290873081613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-18640380012394891392016-04-27T07:51:28.571-04:002016-04-27T07:51:28.571-04:00Wishing you a wonderful day, and a very HAPPY BIRT...Wishing you a wonderful day, and a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787923858721269759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-33619152574982877082016-04-27T07:29:03.813-04:002016-04-27T07:29:03.813-04:00I applaud your great enthusiasm and courage.

I cross-stitch and when I do I put my self into it. Leaving a quilt to a future generation is like gifting a piece of yourself. The hand-sewn stitches; are an expression of your love. When my husband's parents passed, my husband and I sorted carefully through the contents of their home. We learned more about who they were as we looked piece by piece at old letters, photos, and memories left in scrapbooks and old newspaper articles. We found quilts and crocheted items but unfortunately could not identify the crafter from an earlier generation. This was sad for me. Perhaps I can<br />leave some advice; if you would permit. It would be to stitch your initials and date in a corner. It would be a treasure to the receiver of your beautiful quilt. We are fortunate to have my mother-in-laws lovely paintings, they are signed at the bottom as most artists do. A quilt is a cherished piece of art as well; determined by colors and shapes carefully stitched together. Personally, I like the triangle quilt with all the colors. Oh, and don't forget to take a photo holding your quilt.

I've made quilts for my children and grandchildren...currently I am cross stitching a quilt for my second great-grandchild. I do attach a back to it and hand-sew a border around it. Here is a link to my Homemade Crafts Pinterest Board. It shows some of the quilts I've made. https://www.pinterest.com/debsbunch5/homemade-crafts/chappydebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393540849299888872noreply@blogger.com
