I caught that reference, too, and loved it!

And all those quilters in your family!

It was my Mom's wish to share them with quilters, and we were not able to do that together while she was still alive....so I'm doing it for us now.<BR/>When I (finally) undertake my massive labeling project, you'll be hearing about it here! I want to make page-size labels for the quilts, using photos of the makers with their life stories. I will be doing computer printing for that.Sunniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04304233101042809161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100081209595153520.post-39642705782903572012009-01-26T11:15:00.000-05:002009-01-26T11:15:00.000-05:00I remember hearing President Obama's reference to ...I remember hearing President Obama's reference to patchwork and was most pleased.<BR/><BR/>How many "family quilts" do you have in your possesion?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816610294726719568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100081209595153520.post-46588125797701964582009-01-25T13:40:00.000-05:002009-01-25T13:40:00.000-05:00I do consider myself lucky to have such a beautifu...I do consider myself lucky to have such a beautiful family quilt.<BR/>I once saw a Log Cabin quilt in a house museum. It had logs that were not even half an inch wide!
