Family tradition of quilting

I’m a lone wolf when it comes to my immediate family and quilting. I think this is the case for many quilters so Amy’s post about her Family Quilts from Amy ala mode blog stood out. Amy is very lucky to have a family heritage of quilting. Even her dad has quilted!

Click on a quilt name (she has them neatly organized in rows underneath the photo) and you get more information about it. See beautiful examples of Double Wedding Ring, Nine Patch, LeMoyne Star, etc,. Be sure and check out her dad’s variation of Grandmother’s Garden and her Great Grandma Roloff’s Hearts & Gizzards Baby Quilt.

I have a fifteen year old niece who has recently taken up knitting. I cannot wait to do a quilt with her some day.

I recently treated myself to “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” by Jennifer Chiaverini for the upcoming holiday season. As a fan of the Elm Creek Quilts series, I couldn’t resist diving into this heartwarming tale of Christmas traditions and family legacies.

The anticipation of exploring the holiday festivities at Elm Creek Manor is palpable, especially with Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, the Master Quilter, at the helm. Sarah McClure’s eagerness to bring Christmas cheer to the manor adds an extra layer of excitement as she uncovers a curious Christmas quilt with a rich history spanning generations.

As I eagerly await immersing myself in this delightful narrative, I’m already captivated by the promise of cherished memories, family bonds, and the timeless traditions that have endured through the years. With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.

Please make sure not to leave me any spoilers as I haven’t read it yet.
