A Tribute to Grandparents, Who May Have Encouraged Your Quilting
This week, the b5media Lifestyles Channel paid a tribute to grandparents, in recognition of Grandparents Day.
The b5media Lifestyles Channel pays tribute to their own grandparents with memories, recipes and values handed down from generation to generation, said Channel Editor Gayla McCord.
Here at Quilting and Patchwork, I wrote a tribute to my grandmother for my quilting heritage and for introducing me to this art.
Over at One Book Two Book, where I also write, I reminisce about the reading heritage from my grandparents.
What memories, quilting and otherwise, do you have about your grandparents and the heritage they’ve given you. Since I’m a grandparent myself, I hope I’m passing on to my grandchildren…memories, values, and stories of their heritage.
You’ll also enjoy visiting the Lifestyles post and learning how grandparents influenced the lives of the other bloggers.

I have wonderful memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to quilt. She made quilts from old clothes that no one could wear anymore. We would sit on the sofa and she would trace a square pattern from a piece of card board that she had made. I still have some of these quilts today. They are colorful and d many great memories.
