My wife learned to make really nice quilts from watching her videos. Her quilts and her talent were impressive to say the least. If I was in the room I'd watch a little of it. She and her husband ran a quilting business. She was only 62. 

I know no one here is likely interested in this but I thought it worthy of mention. 

RIP Donna.

It is good to have something posted that is not political in nature.

sorry to hear about your friend


hand or machine made?

There used to be a guy from New York who would make a swing down through our state every year and buy up hand made quilts.

He would pay the older ladies quite handsomely for their quilts taking them back to sell back east.

he even organized quilting clubs for the ladies to increase production and of course their earning.

Thanks but we weren't friends. I never met her but she was quilter with a TV show my wife watched and I saw some of it.

My Mother and Aunt Juilie used to like to knit and make blankets and quilts n stuff

Before she died I used give her a ride Jo-Anne Fabric store so Aunt Julie get new material

She ended up in the Nursing Home afew weeks after that day and croaked by summer .

I miss my Aunt Juilie she was a good cook always told me times are tough but I am proud of ya atleast ya trying and dont ever let anyone tell ya otherwise.

At the Nursing Home on Washington Ave she had Diabetees really bad was almost blind she would call me up wanted some candy from gas station Doughnuts and Coffee with like a dozen french vanilla creamers.

I probably wasnt supposed bring that 4 her but she was "Dying" anyways Id sit there talk 2 her drink coffee.

She also wanted a Cigarrette I push her outside in the wheelchair we would sit out there have a smoke too

Nurses sometimes had their breaks same time sit talk with us while they had their smoke.

As far as I could tell all of her quilts were hand made.

Indeed, she practically taught my wife how to quilt.

Sorry to hear...

My wife's aunt was a quilter, her cousin's a quilter and our sister in law's one as well....and I always figured it was another thing that was on it's way out...every piece is a work of art...
