Stitched with Love

That's a beautiful quilt and a beautiful story. I can't believe it's all hand stitched!

As a quilter and one who made an entirely hand stitched queen size quilt that never made it beyond 2/3 hand quilted I know exactly how much work your grandma put into that stunning treasure! I can only imagine all of the love she stitched into it and she's beaming down on you right now because you are using it the way she meant it to be used. Bless your sweet Aunt Francis for knowing who it should live with. This layout is gorgeous, the colors complement the quilt perfectly. Love the look of the hand stitched edging and the way you incorporated bits of different patterned papers without overwhelming the pictures. Love the bit of grass and thread behind the layers, I can picture grandma on the porch swing, quilting and tossing the thread remnants out for the birds to "recycle". Your friend sounds like a wise cookie, glad you listened to her.

What a beautiful keepsake. You made a lovely LO with it.

It's so beautiful....such a wonderful craft. Love the clustering under the photos and the stitching on the outside is the perfect touch to your page.

What a treasure, and it makes my heart happy that you're using and enjoying this beautiful quilt. Your page is very inspiring as you write about this heirloom... it makes me want to document the treasures that have been passed down in my family. Thank you for sharing!
