Quilting around the 1930’s was a complete necessity and most people, including my grandmother couldn’t afford to buy new fabric. I’m sure all of the pieces in this quilt were house dresses, shirts or aprons.
I can’t get over the tiny perfect stitches and the beautiful prints on the fabric.
I will always treasure this quilt. I keep it stored in the closet because it’s starting to wear and fray. Whenever I look at it, I picture my grandmother with needle and thread, stitching away.
The thimble, needles, scissors and thread pictured with the quilt were actually my grandmother’s notions. More treasured items.
Aren’t grandmothers amazing?
I have a quilt my grandma made for my daughter and it is awesome. You are right. All the stitches are perfect. My other grandma made a tablecloth and embroidered it all. It was a school project.It has stains from careless guests but is still have it and not a clue what to do with it..Will look into making it into a table runner. Kinda hurts to cut it..
