Alas, I'll never learn to sing or play a musical instrument. It's also too late for skiing (water or snow) and skating (ice or roller.) Or, alas, dancing. I could probably think of more things I can't do . . but it's too depressing.<br /><br />Bo, I have a nice pile of material from some old shirts I'm thinking about making a quilt with. I incorporated scraps my grandmother had saved from making dresses for my mother into a baby quilt for my first son. It's a great tradition.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-82214311033894845742012-05-17T13:22:39.407-04:002012-05-17T13:22:39.407-04:00The quilt was presented a few weeks ago at a pre-w...The quilt was presented a few weeks ago at a pre-wedding shower. Unfortunately, I couldn't go because of the wretched cold I had. <br /><br />Star -- absolutely unanswerable. This particular quilt was done by a group. The pieces for each block were cut out by a few experienced quilters -- probably using rotary cutters and measuring mat which is MUCH faster than the old way of drawing around a template and cutting with scissors. Then the pieces were made up into kits with instructions on how to piece the block and passed out to participants, many of whom did several blocks. The finished blocks were then stitched together by one or two good seamstresses and the top was readied for quilting. Kathryn, the organizer, let us know when the studio would be open and various folks showed up when they could.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-33121480629189628552012-05-17T12:07:50.789-04:002012-05-17T12:07:50.789-04:00"Scraps to Memories." After the shirts a..."Scraps to Memories." After the shirts and dresses were made, using floral and patterned material from feed and flour sacks, the scraps were sewn into pattern sets for quilts. The sets were swapped across the family and eventually sewn into a quilt top. <br />Can there a more enduring memory than looking at a quilt, knowing its pattern contains pieces of material used to make shirts and dresses for the children of two, three generations?bo parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504218582844222769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-91910162341396336932012-05-17T12:00:33.226-04:002012-05-17T12:00:33.226-04:00Jeepers Vicki!
