I heard about our quilting predecessors using templates and scissors to cut out their patterns, hand piecing and quilting in what seems like a short time! It is their stories along with quilting books (fiction and non-fiction) that inspire me to quilt as well as use thirties fabric. I’m sure you treasure those quilts made by your mother-in-law! What a sweet mother-in-law you have!<br />I love your quilt label. Is it printed on fabric? <br />Your husband sounds like he was a dear and, yes, very supportive of your quilting habit! The Timeless Treasures fabric has a double meaning now, doesn’t it? 😊 <br />Hugs to you!Miaisminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657955150576729566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33705960.post-90203669664025108282022-09-15T20:55:39.389-07:002022-09-15T20:55:39.389-07:00Such a beautiful quilt, wonderful memories and you...Such a beautiful quilt, wonderful memories and your Featherweight story made me smile.

She would also draw and cut her templates from cardboard candy boxes that were emptied at their little country store. They were perfect for making quilting templates! My Granny was my hero! Thanks for those wonderful memories. That featherweight is such a prize as well! Thank you for sharing your finished quilt with us and I do love that backing at the label you made!

I made most of my daughter's clothes and all of my ex-husband's shirts. Fast forward to today, I still use the Kenmore for quilting small objects and when sewing with denim. My everyday machine is a 1949 Singer that belonged to my 2nd husband's grandmother. Love your quilt and the backing is perfect for it.CyndyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247076299042552769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33705960.post-56764875814222331962022-09-05T18:28:51.164-07:002022-09-05T18:28:51.164-07:00Ooh, what a wonderful quilt to get finished up for...Ooh, what a wonderful quilt to get finished up for the blog hop.

Like you, I made our clothing, but my 1st quilt started when I became engaged. My grandmother gave me a top that my great grandmother had started for me when I was a baby. After she died my grandmother added to it to get it to twin size. But then it had sat until I was engaged. The pieces were cut, so I added to it until I got it big enough for a double size bed. I did this while sitting in dorm meetings:) Then my grandmother and grandfather had it hand quilted by a local church group for a wedding gift for us. Needless to say, this quilt has a lot of meaning for me. By the way I was named for the great grandmother who had started the quilt.Nancy A: SewingGranda@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33705960.post-49380975585175053892022-09-05T09:07:42.148-07:002022-09-05T09:07:42.148-07:00Our sewing stories are similar in origin.
