These are just six of the quilts that I have that were made
by my great grandmother, some over one hundred years old. I received these
quilts after the passing of my grandfather and there are so many warm memories
I have with some of them. Right now they are on display, as pictured, hanging
on an antique ladder that I purchased while in Germany. Recently though my mother
voiced her thought that I should be enjoying them more as my grandma Elfrank
had, yes mom I will use them more.
When we, my brothers and I, were younger and would visit my
grandparents during the summer or even during a holiday visit we would use
these quilts. I remember personally using the one on the bottom, the butterfly
quilt on top and the bright orange and yellow quilt. I know my mom is right and
I should be using them as they were meant to be used. Nothing feels better then
wrapping yourself in a quilt especially one that was made by hand, by your own
ancestor and made with love.
