Legacy

Jane July 12, 2016

I've spoken in a previous post about my Grandma and how skilled she was at crafts and baking.

A few weeks ago my Mum passed on to me a quilt that my Grandma had made. It's beautiful, I absolutely love it. The patchwork style is called Cathedral Squares and it looks a little like Japanese origami.

Sadly it has sat in a plastic bag for the past 10 years and I don't remember ever seeing it before.

Now I have custody of this hand stitched patchwork quilt I have to decide what to do with it.

Initially I thought about getting a backing put on and finishing off the unfinished squares to make the quilt usable. Now I'm leaning toward having it framed.

I really love all the scrap materials used and each time I look at it, another piece jumps out at me. I don't even mind the blank squares... it's like a work in progress.

Still trying to figure out exactly what to do. It is about 80cm wide and 190cm long so it's mid sized. Probably for a cot.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Hi!👋🏼 Me again... chunky beanie kits will be available this week. Do you like purple? I didn’t used to like but I do now, maybe I’m a slave to fashion? 💜
I think it’s the shade, more a lilac really. #beanie #quickknit #knittingki
