Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Tue, 12/01/09 14:50 Wonderful photograph that catches the sense of a completed family task and your comments complete the story of the quilt. Comments by John Long on Tue, 12/01/09 17:30 That's a really wonderful story Linda - I understand quilting is very popular in the USA and Canada - here in the U.K it is rarely done. Comments by Linda Frey on Tue, 12/01/09 17:55 Thank-you, els, Donald, Jan and John. I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. Quilting used to be a social event back when this quilt was started. A time for women to get together, and an opportunity to impart sewing skills to young women. My mom would have been about sixteen then.
