I still have several, and I even helped on a couple of them. A group of women @ church used to make quilts for our annual auction, and I made blocks for a couple of those, one of which covers my bed in winter.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you and your mum are having a nice visit.The Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640870056010190961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-19063285994656140582008-07-12T02:13:00.000-05:002008-07-12T02:13:00.000-05:00What a wonderful group and beautiful quilts.

Most are machine quilters though and although many of them go to 'classes' together that are more social than educational I don't think they often collaborate on quilts. We do have one family friend who makes the quilts completely by hand - she gave us small quilts for each of the kids when they were born :-) <BR/><BR/>Oh, and your mom was what, ten years old when you were born?Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-31209215198598072722008-07-11T08:33:00.000-05:002008-07-11T08:33:00.000-05:00Oh, oh, what beautiful quilts and such beautiful l...Oh, oh, what beautiful quilts and such beautiful ladies.
