People used to make quilts for warmth.. Nowadays, people make beautiful quilts --and the fancier, the better... Interesting, isn't it???<br /><br />By the way, does Sarah quilt??? Hope she keeps the family tradition going...<br /><br />Glad that Roger is better.

My mother didn't quilt, but she did sew and made our clothes. I think she bought a lot of fabric at J.C. Penney, too and all the other stores downtown Indianapolis. Like you, I have built up a stash and am now using a lot of it since I have had less money to go fabric shopping. The only quilt I made full of memories, was the one that I made for my daughter when she was about 9. It has fabric from dresses that I had made for her, and a few I had made for myself and I can look at them and remember the outfits connected with them. I think the memories I connect to my quilts now, are just of a different kind.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-48078607049350351322010-06-06T14:35:45.383-04:002010-06-06T14:35:45.383-04:00Neat blog post, it brings back memories for me too...Neat blog post, it brings back memories for me too! I can remember the local *Five and Dime* store having limited fabric, but it what was available. Then finally a fabric store opened up...but it was owned by grumpy people so it was not a fun place to shop :>)!! I only shopped there out of TOTAL necessity! Have a great week, I am glad Roger is feeling better!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033748957386956585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-10582784716040196192010-06-06T10:48:23.104-04:002010-06-06T10:48:23.104-04:00I enjoyed reading your account of quilting then an...I enjoyed reading your account of quilting then and now. I had never thought of quilt squares are links and reminders in a historic sense. That is a wonderful aspect. I wonder if old catalogs from your Mom's era would be online where you could check those prices.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683101466651668784noreply@blogger.com
