It's a pretty piece, but more importantly a slice of family history. Thanks so much for sharing it.<br /><br />Now, I hope I can whip up one of my favorites for Friday (tomorrow here). Due to last minute company coming in this weekend (my uncle--my dad's brother), I probably won't be able to make the rounds until Sunday, but I'm looking forward to it.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-13056365329249785352010-09-03T11:59:35.286+09:302010-09-03T11:59:35.286+09:30I had to post mine a bit early (it's still Thu...I had to post mine a bit early (it's still Thursday here), but Fridays are hectic around here and I didn't want to miss it.

I have my post all set to go and scheduled for first thing in the morning, but I think I'm going to stay up until midnight, post it and then add it to the Linky Queue.<br /><br />Also, you make me sound like I am Wonder Woman, which, I am not. If I had an invisible jet, I'd be down there for weekend sew-ins. I hope you never ask me to code something really fancy.<br /><br />Your locket is beautiful!

I don't...Wow you're a techie-congrats QIMP. I don't have any favorite things unless you count people and memories. Since you are talking about Grandmas and you are also a quilter, I will share this one: I had exactly one sleepover once with my great-grandmother, Effie. She made a quilt with me. A whole quilt in one night! It was nothing fancy-just some leftover cloth we cut up into squares and she taught me how to sew it together on her old treadle sewing machine, than we backed it with a piece of muslin, and she "tatted" it? I think that is the word. Somewhere along the line, the edges must have gotten closed, but I don't remember that part. Maybe I was sound asleep under one of her other quilts by that time....If I had that quilt now, it would probably be one of my favorite things. I'm hoping it is in my parent's house somewhere because, all of a sudden, I really want to see it again! Thanks for a great post QIMP, and for bringing back nice memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
