Speaking of Quilts

"I enjoyed your sharing the family quilt with me. One good quilt deserves another. A couple of years ago thirteen of my first cousins, my brother, and I surprised my Aunt Nell Cook Morris by gathering in Oklahoma to celebrate her eightieth birth day.

Nell flew from California with her daughter, and even though on cousin was on the plane during the leg of the flight from Denver to OKC, OK, she was completely surprised. My wife Martha is a superb quilter.

She merged high tech and low tech to create a gift quilt for the occasion. Using a special cloth that can be printed upon with a computer printer, she made the quilt shown here. It features photos from the birthday girls whole life.

Her daughter and I were exchanging photos until the wee hours of the night, just before the project started. All her nieces and nephews present signed the border with indelible ink.

Perhaps this is an heirloom of the future." -- Charles   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
