I think that quilts actually began as a way to recycle old fabric into useful and warm blankets. I love it when I hear young people talking about their movement of recycling . . . like that's new, LOL. Our mothers and grandmothers never thought of wasting anything. Everything was used and reused until there was nothing left of it, or until their family out grew it and then it was passed on to another family that could use it.

It was hard to explain the joy I felt while finishing her work, but I felt like she was there cheering be on, knowing that it would finally be in the hands of her granddaughter. I will treasure the memory of working on it and who knows maybe someday someone will finish one of my pieces. <br />P.S. My Mama made many of my early school dresses from flour sacks, too :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-26876907134645284052019-01-06T11:25:16.792-08:002019-01-06T11:25:16.792-08:00Thank you, I feel very good that it is done, but w...Thank you, I feel very good that it is done, but will be even happier when it is finally in her hands. There is a responsibility when you have a treasured item that doesn't belong to you in your hands and care. Especially when the value is in family history and love and not monetary value.

She would also keep the string off the bag to tack her quilts with. She raised her family of 14 through the depression era. Nothing was wasted and she made do with what she had. Her quilts where made out of clothes that no longer could be repair or beyond mending. Her quilts were not fancy but, they was made to keep her family warm.

You just couldn't find better fabric. You did a fantastic job on this sweet piece of history. I had the honor of doing something similar, when my oldest great niece was born. A family friend started making a quilt for her but couldn't finish it because of illness. She gave it all to my sister (baby's grandma) and she tried to work on it but she has RA and couldn't do it, either. She asked if I could do something with it and I finished it up. I lovingly named it, the "Three Old Ladies" quilt! My great niece still drags it around, all these years later. It was such a pleasure and I felt like I took on the spirit of those other two old ladies, when I was working on it! I am sure your sister in law and all her descendants will treasure that beautiful flour sack quilt!<br /><br />Grace & Peace,<br />Pam Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04913112994067101020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-75137120714360654742019-01-05T18:21:01.879-08:002019-01-05T18:21:01.879-08:00How wonderful that you were able to finish it and ...How wonderful that you were able to finish it and the stitching looks great.
