Those are beautiful Jenn! She did a wonderful job! I love the butterfly one.. I actually have one like that but the quilt is Red. instead of the blue like your grandmothers! an elderly friend of ours gave it to me before she died. mom and i we're helping take care of her!

I am in Awe ... of anyone who can design and produce such beauty by hand.
I never had anyone in my family who had this type of talent and I sure wish that I would have learned years ago.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to sew something so lovely to be handed down from generation to generation?
Thank you so much for sharing.

Things like this, always make me miss my Grandma that much more, there wasn't anything that woman couldn't do..she could cook(owned quite a few restaruants in her life), cut hair, play organ, piano, housebreak a dog in a day..sew.you name it, she could do it..

Does your grandma sell those? If so, find out how much she sells them for..I would love to have one..

Those are beautiful quilts! They will always be so special because they were made by your grandmother. I just love quilts. I have be given some that my grandmother made, she has since passed away. I have one displayed in my entry way hanging. I also have a very old quilt that my great grandmother made. I just love old stuff but especially things that have always been in the family. I have collect a lot of family things(antiques) though the years.
I have my grandparents bedroom set it is over 70 years old now and in beautiful condition!!!!

They are beautiful! I am the holder of my Grandmother and Great Grandmother's quilts and I treasure them.

I noticed there is a Yo Yo pillow in the left corner. I've been making those for years

Thanks everyone!

She use to make the quilts (and other things) ALL the time and sold them in craft stores, craft fairs, etc. She even put them in the county fair all the time. BUT at her age right now...she doesn't sell many of them. Her sister in Washington sends her money to make quilts so she can give them as gifts..and that is about all she does regarding selling them.

I got a lot of the stuff she makes...I don't ask or anything...she just gives them..and I love them! She is wanting to start making things for my daughter for her to keep in her cedar chest (hope chest)...that way, she will have things especially made for her by her great grandmother!
