I have this roommate (and if she's reading this, she'll kill me) who looks down on all my "old" stuff. Yes, I know it's not Ikea, or Designer of the Month, but there is meaning behind almost everthing I have. And my quilts, they're part of me since I was first born. I have the quilt my grandmother made, the baby blankets she made, and the quilt that my mother made (she took each of us boys to Van Meters in Pensacola to pick out the fabric), and then she made us each our own unique quilt. The maid that helps clean my boyfriend's place wanted to throw out my grandmother's quilt because she said it was producing dust. I swooped down, wrapped up the blanket and have hidden it from her ever since. There's a great story (am I going on too long? Is there blog-comment-lenght etiquette) by Alice Walker about two sister, and a quilt that's just beautiful. Let me see if I can find it...mm hmm, found it (http://hubpages.com/hub/Alice-Walkers-Everyday-Use) It's called "Everyday Use". It really expresses how I feel about quilts. And Irene, I don't know you, but I'll copy you on this because your book sounds amazing.Graeme Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14454091813490839478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693050953762677969.post-38292174875533735462008-11-25T19:22:00.000-06:002008-11-25T19:22:00.000-06:00The award looks SO GOOD on you. :) Thanks for yo...The award looks SO GOOD on you. :) Thanks for your sweet words.
