My stepkids have no memories of the farm

I may need to make 5 lap quilts but combine some 12 and 6 inch blocks to make each one
We will see
For now i will trod along making blocks and find some journals to record the stories
These are really neat, Dawn--so many great memories of your younger days...;)))
ReplyDeleteMy paternal Grand-pere was a dairy farmer--but I don't recall many visits to his farm...I don't know why--maybe because I was afraid of him??For no good reason, I am sure--but I was really shy...
Funny how some things stand out and others fade...that's why memory quilts are so wonderful...
Now I recall my maternal Grand-pere and Grand-mere in detail--I spent a whole lot of my young days with them...it was a treat for me to stay overnight with them...Grand-mere was a super sewer and quilter...When Grand-pere babysat for me, my parents would come home to see him watching me sleep!! I miss them a lot still...

Perhaps you should throw in some large blocks. That is what I am doing when I work on my farmgirl quilt.
