I just started my first quilt and have been fretting over the care of an Amish quilt I inherited from my grandmother who lived in PA many years ago. She passed away a few years ago, and yesterday I visited my ailing grandfather and fed him dinner. This morning, with quilting thoughts flooding my mind, I visited the UpperRoom website for a daily devotional. Today's was entitled "Grandma's Quilts," and it discussed how we are meant to use gifts, not store them away. Your story seems to confirm a little hello from my grandmother today. :)jessica ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05133686353182231739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-15704229022800433492010-01-06T04:29:53.645-08:002010-01-06T04:29:53.645-08:00The quilts are beautiful.
