When I'm stressed or need a 'time out' I cook or bake. It calms me down and straightens my head out. I have just learned to crochet it feels so good to sit, focus and also create something. Productive and calming at the same time. A reminder to spend less time watching television, surfing the 'net, and more time creating and reading!Between you, me and the Fenceposthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341743784442273974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-65944630618578278392011-02-02T19:14:38.775-06:002011-02-02T19:14:38.775-06:00Happy

My son spent a year there as well. I have things my grandmother made but not a quilt. I do have a quilt that she picked out to buy in Amish Country. Stay warm, I hear it's cold there.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-74435723490376441732011-02-02T18:14:16.826-06:002011-02-02T18:14:16.826-06:00Wow Aunt Joan, I didn't know near as much abou...Wow Aunt Joan, I didn't know near as much about Grandma and Great Grandma as you do. Thanks for sharing that part of family history with me. :o)<br /><br />Thank you EVERYONE for your birthday well wishes.. Tee-hee! If only I could have heard Gloria singing. I would LOVE that!<br /><br />Kim I'm so glad you got your cup. Because we live so far from the mailboxes all I got was my slip. And I have to wait until tomorrow to pick up the box. Ahh... the joys of rural living. :o)<br /><br />We are having pizza with Elisabeth, my daughter-in-law (whose birthday is also today) along with Andrew, and the grandchildren. We're going to play games. Their power is out..but not ours so we are having a joint birthday celebration tonight.<br /><br />Have a great day everyone. I'm glad you all are enjoying the quilt. <br /><br />xo<br />DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-82103120742354703902011-02-02T16:59:30.971-06:002011-02-02T16:59:30.971-06:00WOW that quilt is amazing!!!

I have some broken up pieces of a 19th century quilt my grandma found. She didn't make it but she rescued it. It was on my mother's bed for years, but before my mum sadly died she passed the battered old quilt to me, and I have used the good pieces for cushions and other crafting. I love having all those memories around me!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-59054079699862122482011-02-02T10:39:37.779-06:002011-02-02T10:39:37.779-06:00Happy Birthday, Sweet Niece!!

You forgot to mention that you had to finish the top part before you could even begin the quilting. That was quite a story in itself! I only wish we could have gotten the full story before Grandma died to know if her mother started it or just how it came to be. Knowing what their life was like back then, I can see why GGM never had time to finish it. I also think that Grandma and Aunt Mary were the only ones who did any quilting after they were grown. I am pretty sure they helped as young girls since they were the two oldest and chose to continue later in life. GGmother had four sons in the service at one point or another, so she had lots to worry about while her boys were 'off to war'. That is something you are experiencing yourself right now with Matthew deployed. I know that she no doubt went thru all your same emotions. <br /><br />I know you are enjoying your Birthday of quilting. :) As for myself on this icy 'snow day' we are hunkered down here and trying to stay warm. The electric company has started rolling blackouts today to try and keep the power grids up. So many people are stuck at home up here in the Metroplex that usage has skyrocketed. And with so many kids at home doing their electronic thing...the demand for power has has put a strain on things. Plus it is around 8 degrees or so. Brrrrrr...a quilt on my lap would feel wonderful!<br /><br />Have a blessed day and give our love to your sweet family. Thank you so much for taking on that labor of love. Words cannot express my gratitude.<br />Love, <br />Aunt JoanAma x fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081072857477965288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-36219813637948768732011-02-02T10:22:09.303-06:002011-02-02T10:22:09.303-06:00Happy Birthday Donna!!!
