Great Grandma's Garden - This quilt was given to me when my grandmother passed away. It was made by her mother. It was hand stitched from start to finish. I remember the quilt laying on the guest bed when I visted my grandmother's house and slept under it many-a-night. I didn't appreciate it as much until I became a quilter myself (after both grandma and great-grandma had passed away). I never knew my great-grandmother but wish I had known her and was able to learn from her quilting experiences. My grandmother never learned to quilt from her and I feel like there is knowlege lost over the generations. This quilt is very worn and loved, but I like it that way! It's imperfect and beautiful!
