Kitty...I've missed you also,but you are in my thoughts often, always remember that even when you think I'm not thinking of you...I am.
I have two quilts that are very old...one at least 100 yrs and the other belonged to a friend, when he died I got the quilt his mother made or his grandmother...I can't remember which. His quilt was close to fifty years old...I have them stored, but I do look at them at times.
TwoCats...I'm sure they probably wound up helping someone keep warm, ask around the family. I have quilt tops that were made by my grandmother(101 yrs old) and some that my ex-MIL had that were going to the dump, but I asked the ex husband for them. I hope one day I will feel like putting the backing on them to pass on to my grandkids.
I got some hot apple brandy ready...don't drink too much ya won't be able to walk, maybe not even see straight...yep Mr Tot knew how to make some apple brandy to warm up the bones on a cold night.
