Holidays are time for family and friends

1920 Dresden Plate Quilt

At our November meeting a member shared some photos of heritage quilts she has in her family. One was a Dresden plate pattern and another a double wedding ring. Both were from the 1920’s. The colors are so fresh and the quilting (probably by hand) is so intricate.  She mentioned that she didn’t get into quilting until later in life and was inspired by these family quilts.  So, it’s never too late to start! And we have it easier on quilting, as there’s something called the electric sewing machine, walking feet, and electric long arm quilters. 

Do you have any cherished quilt from your family or friends?
