The concept and artistry in your execution of idea in this quilt is fabulous. I hope to some day see it in person. I have a feeling it's even better up close. I love this Aunt Alice!lauramoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433045178256913073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292954620163316589.post-72183770630826737332013-03-16T21:49:40.890-07:002013-03-16T21:49:40.890-07:00Beautiful. -- Abby LloydBeautiful. -- Abby LloydAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292954620163316589.post-26654394001884833452013-03-16T11:58:44.598-07:002013-03-16T11:58:44.598-07:00Alice, letter-writing is DEFINITELY an art, and yo...Alice, letter-writing is DEFINITELY an art, and you expressed that beautifully in your quilt. Our parents and grandparents had such beautiful handwriting, and the thought that they expressed their emotions much like we do in our emails is a real contrast of method but not of desire to communicate. What a beautiful way you brought out the "Communications" theme. ssAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292954620163316589.post-78876865987850774752013-03-15T17:48:28.011-07:002013-03-15T17:48:28.011-07:00Alice, this is my favorite quilt so far.

The little touches that remind you of your mother, and your father's suffering at the beginning of his career make the past come alive. Love it! Love you!

Using the handkerchiefs and lace,and then the picture. I am there. Lovely.

I cannot imagine any of my cousins talking in dulcet tones in Grandmother's kitchen, but I remember many an hour spent there - mainly eating, though she did once teach me how to bake a cake from scratch. I see Grandmother in each of these fabrics.Sarah CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653424522235955309noreply@blogger.com
