I get it. I doubt they realize how much they influenced me. They were my grandmothers, aunts, great aunts and other “elders”. Now that I’m where they were when I watched them, it’s easy to see their influence. I don’t like being idle either. I love beautiful things, too. I love making things. I love creating.
Not long ago I was inspired to make a quilt similar to one I saw on Pinterest. Whole cloth with two borders…a white border and a matching grey border and applique my cherished doilies to the front. When I quilted it, I used round patters, wreaths or anything that looked like a doily. I call it I Love My Doilies.
It has become my favorite quilt…. because I Love My Doilies!
