Absolute treasures!!! Now you will always be able to remember the one who got you interested in quilting. My Gram piqued my interest when I was about 8 years old. A group of her friends were seated around a quilting frame in the front bedroom (the bed was under the frame) and they offered me a needle. I took a few stitches which I sure they pulled out after I left, but I said then, 'one day I will do this". I wish she were here so I could show her what I am doing because of her.

Your Grandmother has passed on some real treasures to you and I know you will enjoy completing them.

So glad you got the treasures. She knew you would be the right recipient. Sadly, so many Grandmothers work goes to the thrift stores after they pass on, and nobody appreciates their work.

How lucky are you to have a gm who quilts and passes it along to you and she is very lucky she was able to pass on her work to someone who will appreciate it.
