I learned embroidery from my grandmother, too. I spent 6 weeks with her one summer when I was 13, and I exhausted her knowledge bank by several embroidery stitches, a dozen huck towels, and some pillow cases. I treasure them, but I treasured her more. I love your quilt.

I began when I was about 12/13. I remember at uni I wouldn't let myself do it during term time, just in holidays after exams, because otherwise i would stitch rather than study or do my assignments. I haven't done any for years really though. Since I discovered patchwork and quilting in 2001 everything else has fallen by the wayside. Hand things are just too slow for me now considering how busy my life is with three kids, a husband, a home and a demanding near full time job.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902931991446033427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-10914941667846422722014-12-16T19:01:25.679-08:002014-12-16T19:01:25.679-08:00Not only do I LOVE the quilt - front and back, but...Not only do I LOVE the quilt - front and back, but your story touched my heart!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907226751158445556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-86257382585935411232014-12-10T14:35:27.637-08:002014-12-10T14:35:27.637-08:00What a great quilt!
