Now that I have made a few 12" x 12" quilts over the past few months, I am beginning to see a "body of work" emerging. I have at least four that I think will become part of what I will be calling my "Past Presence/Presents" or "Connections" series.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-80638417197271777142011-10-02T20:11:45.067-04:002011-10-02T20:11:45.067-04:00This is fabulous, Andrea!

What an inspiration for those of us who STILL have letters we would like to preserve!

What an advent...Andrea, this is a wonderful quilt! What an adventure for your grandfather, and what a great way to honor him. You are so very right about handwritten letters and what a treasure they are. Alas, in this day of cheap phone calls, emails, instant messaging, FaceBook, etc., we and our children are not leaving such a leagacy behind for our progeny. But back to this quilt--it inspires me, as did your quilt for our MM group, to learn to silk-screen. That is such a wonderful technique and one I could use in so many different quilting projects with the treasure-trove of photos and letters that I have from my family.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-3285940151630219932011-09-30T21:57:14.941-04:002011-09-30T21:57:14.941-04:00Thanks Linda, I love that I could not only "h...Thanks Linda, I love that I could not only "honor" the handwritten letter, which is sadly such a rarity now, but that I have one written by my grandfather over 100 years ago, is such a treasure.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-65332651829604132952011-09-30T21:38:06.808-04:002011-09-30T21:38:06.808-04:00I LOVE this, Andrea.
