  I love to quilt and have many of my own, although I give away most of them. I like to do everything by hand. We have my husband’s grandmother’s quilt, which is very special to us.

  I’m not a quilter yet. However, I just keep buying fabric, pattern books, etc. I’m just a little intimidated about starting a project– but I love to shop :)
  We have quilts in my family that were my grandmother and grandfather’s families. I’d love to be able to make at least 2 (one for each of my children.)

  i LOVE to quilt when I have a few spare minutes and even when I don’t, I have a few old quilts from a Great Aunt and some blocks from my grandma that I still need to finish into a quilt.

  I have quilts made by both my grandmothers and also several aunts. My grandmothers & one of my aunts taught me to quilt, so their quilts are special to me.

  I have three “heirloom” quilts, if you stretch the definition a bit. The oldest is a baby quilt from the early 1950’s. It made for me by the women in my mother’s church circle. My sister used it as an infant, and she used it for her two children. Mother made two kit quilts in the early 1960’s. Mine is a pansy wreath that is now in use in my guest room. (My sister’s was turquoise cross-stitch; I don’t know what happened to it.) The third–which stretches the definition–is the first quilt I made. (Am I old enough to make heirlooms?!) It’s a double-bed, cross-stitch (avocado green) from a kit that I made the year I was in library school. I did the embroidery first semester and the hand-quilting the second semester. That was 34 years ago–and I still use both the quilt and the degree!

  I have two heirloom quilts–one made by my dad’s mom is a small baby quilt and has appliqued butterflies on a white ground. The other made by my mom who was not crafty, which makes me love it even more. It’s a Sunbonnet Sue using blocks made by my mom’s two sisters and their mother from scraps of my clothes from childhood. It is worn almost to thin air in some places. When we moved to Rhode Island from California, this quilt was the one item that was lost. I cried and cried. Imagine my joy when on Christmas morning there was just one more present for me–they had found my quilt in the potato cellar of the new house!! Thanks for the fun chance to win a book and share stories.

  Since I know of no quilting history in my heritage (although I know that I had great-aunts who were career women- one was a butcher!) I am first generation quilter with another cousin or two that does some…

  I appreciate the history and love that has gone into quilting in the past.

  We do have heirloom quilts in our family. My Grandma used to quilt and gave each baby one and also gave a quilt to each bride or young girl for their beds. I wish I could quilt, but I honestly haven’t had the time to take on another project.

  There’s a quilt in my husband’s family that’s been past down for several generations. He was very upset when it was passed to his sister instead of him. Every baby born into the family has to be wrapped in the quilt. I’m not sure how it started, but it’s pretty neat!

• Marsel McKee

  My heirloom quilt is the one my great-grandma made for me when I moved out of my crib and into my “big girl” bed. She died shortly thereafter, and I have very little actual memory of her, so it is precious to me to hold this quilt, touch the fabrics, and know that she used them, selected them, cut them out with her template made from newspaper, and then handstitched each piece together with love for her great-granddaughter.

  I am working on my first “real” quilt, but I hope to progress throughout the next few decades so that I can pass on some heirlooms to the next generation!

  my quilt is a 5 generation quilt that started with my Granny and ended with my daughter. Granny held a needle in her hand and put the last 10 stitches in when she was 5 days old.

  All my aunts worked together to make my grandmother a quilt when my aunt died. It has a special heart patch from each of them and a patch with each of their names embroidered on it for her. She had a lot of kids so it’s a really big quilt!

  I do have an heirloom quilt! It is just a little over 100 years old and came from the neighbor next door to my Granny when they were all still alive. Even though a relative of mine didn’t make it I still cherish it. I am a quilter too but still don’t have the skills like some others out there.

  Thank you for the wonderful giveaway that you are having!

  My grandmother’s quilt was lost because of my grandfather’s 2nd wife. It’s a sad story. :-( I loved Stephanie Grace Whitson’s other books. Thanks for offering a great prize and the opportunity to win it!!

  I have a number of quilts that my mother and grandmother made in the 1930s. Also, three friendship quilts Mom put together for me when I graduated from high school. It’s great to look at them and see names of the ladies who lived in our community back then.

  I would love to read this book - it sounds wonderful!

  I am a beginning quilter - still trying to finish the first one while building a stash of lovely fabrics.

  I have two quilts that I inherited from my grandmother that were made for her by her cousins - these ladies were master quilters, so my mother tells me. I love antique quilts and dream of filling my home with lots of them!

  Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

  Blessings,

  I am starting my first quilt ever! It is going to be a Christmas present for my 11 year old son. It will be kind of funky because I let him pick out the fabrics and his tastes are all over the place! From fishing to baseball to camo and everything in between. The great thing about quilts is that you don’t have to pick out a “theme”. It can be as unique as the one you are making it for!
