I agree completely when you say "I love that the quilt owners feel a deep responsibility to keep and document these family quilts- no matter how humble they are". I have seen so many quilts at the American museum here in Somerset, where there is no information known and their history can only be guessed at.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-19617920098284959462019-03-26T06:10:16.846-07:002019-03-26T06:10:16.846-07:00It makes me want to make sure all my older quilts ...It makes me want to make sure all my older quilts (made by my mother and MIL) have labels on them.

I came to quiltmaking through a love of history and the day to day lives of those before us. I am lucky to have the keys to a local museums textile room but I am always delighted to see more.
