It's never more beautiful than when the craft passed down from generation to generation. I hope you crochet lots of beautiful things. It's very soothing. :-) And good luck on that quilting when you get there. I think it's an awesome idea to tackle with your mom. :-) !Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-17324007516690541552013-04-20T15:41:42.108-04:002013-04-20T15:41:42.108-04:00Somehow, I knew your letter Q would be about Quilt...Somehow, I knew your letter Q would be about Quilts....being a country girl and all.

They were definitely more of the precise than the crazy kind. It was amazing to think of people hand-sewing all of them! We also had "rag rugs" that were brilliant, braided circular things.<br />Great post! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-69914563758499858522013-04-20T01:18:12.927-04:002013-04-20T01:18:12.927-04:00Teresa, I think that salvaged fabric used in a qui...Teresa, I think that salvaged fabric used in a quilt is so special. It tells a story! Last wknd, I had my first lesson in crocheting with my mother. I'm not sure she knows how to quilt, but maybe that will be my next challenge after I get crocheting down pat. <br /><br />Chontali Kirk<br /><a href="http://www.chontalikirk.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">chontalikirk.blogspot.com</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530419329233270590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-50888730558812182432013-04-19T22:12:16.292-04:002013-04-19T22:12:16.292-04:00Yes!

And I have pieces of the fabric from my wedding dress to work into each of their quilts, too.

I've never owned an authentic quilt, but would love to have one. I doubt whether my wife or I will ever make one though. There are a number of quilters doing the Challenge and they've put up some lovely photos of quilts.<br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-68570660722359433582013-04-19T14:37:53.630-04:002013-04-19T14:37:53.630-04:00I would love to learn how to quilt.

I've been having a hard time getting rid of my kids' baby clothes, and I always thought that if I learned to sew (yes, I can't do that either!), I could use their clothes and make a quilt of all these little memories I have. Maybe someday, I guess, when I learn patience. :) Until then, the clothes sit in tubs (and my husband isn't too pleased about that)!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272293468239097754noreply@blogger.com
