Baby Quilts

Grandmothers and the Baby Quilt

If I could change the world:

Cuddle would be a term reserved not just for the very young, but those of all ages.

That is what our mothers and grandmothers do when they cuddle us in their arms. Those protective hugs make the night seem less scary, the fear of the dark turn into light of day, and the spooky figures in our closets become nothing more than real-life lessons to be dealt with each day.

Itching To Be Stitching

“Itching to be stitching.”

It is that time of the year again, the end of summer. For some people that might mean Fall is coming, and it is time to bring in the summer furniture and pack away the grill. Others might start to think about bringing out the sweaters and sweatshirts for those cool evenings when the sun goes down. Either way, time for those extra chores means less time with the needle and thread.
