Yes, I love to help with one of your posts. Quilts are full of family history! Love, Judy

I’ve enjoyed reading some of your stories.
Let me know if you might be interested in being featured in one of my posts.

I’m thrilled you wrote to me about this. My goal was to inspire people to think about their family history.
I’m sad you don’t have more quilts but am thrilled about your pieces of crochet. I have some also. I’ve tried to keep a tag pinned on them so I’ll know who made them but there are some I don’t know anymore. Since I’m thinking about labels, I suppose I could also make a little cloth label to baste onto them.
Good luck with your family history. Do you go to Family Search.com? It’s free. I go there and also to Ancestry.com
Love and happy memories. Judy

What wonderful quilts and memories you have. And the photographs of people! I don’t have many of those, but I still like stumbling across stories now and then. Thank you so much for sharing these. I have exactly one quilt of my mothers – a tied snowball quilt. I never saw her quilt, but older siblings tell me she did, when she lived with her mother-in-law, whom I did know, but never saw quilt either! I saw a lot of her crochet, though, and have one piece that she did for my older sister’s 16th birthday. It has one area needing repair, however.
