There is a quilt show at the historic Bulloch Hall in Roswell, GA., every spring and I have attended it several times. The quilts there are outstanding. Even though I am moving to Nashville I’ll try to have one of my trips back to GA to coincide with the next show. You can have a look at all the quilts there by clicking on “quilts” on the side of my blog. It is such an art to assemble all the fabric pieces and decide on the various colors. I loved your quilt.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-22843750896125454192019-02-09T15:03:06.066-08:002019-02-09T15:03:06.066-08:00What a gorgeous quilt, Susie!

They are treasures that can be passed down from generation to generation--not just how to make them, but having them to enjoy and keep warm with too. You wrote beautifully here about your memories.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-82564912889953506852019-02-08T08:58:07.702-08:002019-02-08T08:58:07.702-08:00Susie, such a beautiful, beautiful quilt!

I remember the frames hanging from the ceiling in a very small room. I really don't see how we lived "under" the quilts. When I was a child Mama quilted just for our own use, but when she retired from her town job, she sold a lot of her quilts. Oh how I miss the days I went to quilt with her; she's been gone 31 years and I'm so grateful she taught me to quilt. Thank you for stirring up memories and I keep praying you will be able to make more quilts and keep writing about your memories.lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-85941366048255453172019-02-07T17:07:03.921-08:002019-02-07T17:07:03.921-08:00Quilts are really works of art and precious heirlo...Quilts are really works of art and precious heirlooms. I saw a quilt in a museum that was made from pieces of Mary Todd Lincoln's dresses while she was First Lady. Hope you are having a good week.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770750648145547973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-231459879659011912019-02-07T16:37:05.146-08:002019-02-07T16:37:05.146-08:00I read every word,Susie. What wonderful memories ...I read every word,Susie. What wonderful memories you have shared here. My grandmother and mother were both quilters,too, but probably nothing like your folks. We still have some of the quilts my grandmother made. When my mother got "bad" and was living alone someone came along and sweet-talked her into giving those quilts away. It makes my heart ache today to think of it.<br /><br />I am so sorry you have Addison's. That can be most unpleasant. I hope you are doing well,though, and they have found treatment(s) that work well for you.<br /><br />Have a wonderful night- xo DainaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-66894723959379168852019-02-07T15:19:51.989-08:002019-02-07T15:19:51.989-08:00Susie, Your quilt is beautiful. hat is an art form... Susie, Your quilt is beautiful. hat is an art form that I truly admire. The frame your described , the lowering (from the ceiling right?) that is how my aunt Helen quilted. I used to love to stay all night at her house and point to pretty pieces of a quilt and say, "wish I had a dress like this color". LOL My aunt only made hers by hand. I do not know what happened to all her quilts. I would love to own one. Teddy's mom made all her children and grands a quilt of their own. I won one of hers she was going to raffle off to raise money for a trip to go on vacation to her sisters. She just laughed when I said I will buy it here and now. LOL I should do a post on it. It's a beauty. Susie, one day you will be sewing with gold threads . Blessings to you. Keep remembering your good times . love you, xoxo, SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.com
