They were a wonderful series! I am so glad that I got to watch them. <br /><br />No one in my family was a quilter when I was growing up, other than the generation of my great-grandma who had already "passed". My aunt and I learned how to quilt about the same time, unbeknownst to each other, as we lived in different states. When we finally got to sit down and visit a few years later, we were excited to find out that it was a passion for both of us. To this day no one can get a word in edgewise when the two of us start talking quilts! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-80095367173578663882012-08-20T08:37:05.579-07:002012-08-20T08:37:05.579-07:00Fabulous post Darlene.

My grandmother didn't quilt, but she was a seamstress making all of our school clothes when we were small, our coats, robes, my sisters prom dresses and her wedding dress. I also remember her making coats over and over again when we lived in Nevada, then she put me in the car and drove (one of the few rare times she drove) me out to the reservation and we handed coats out. Think that is why I also make so many quilts for charities. I keep pictures of mine in albums with dates and who they went to.Quiltingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885973879588867172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-75161869558200579272012-08-20T07:34:35.424-07:002012-08-20T07:34:35.424-07:00I was able to order this through inter-library loa...I was able to order this through inter-library loan and will be picking it up today.

I remember when I heard they were filming these and promptly forgot. So now I can search out a way to see them! That said - for me - why quilting matters is that it gives me a way to express my creativity that no other media has seemed to capture. I never wanted to paint, draw, sculpt but when I put my hand on fabric - the texture, the warmth, the colors - well they just make me want to create. Plus I love the way that art can also be snuggled with. Have you ever tried to snuggle with a statue or a painting?? but with quilts you can literally wrap yourself in the beauty of the art and feel the warmth sink through you.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.com
