My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...
YAY! I grew up in Dutchess County and went to the fair for many years. I didn't see anyone I knew in the photo though. Holy moley it was crowded. I hope you had a great time!
It looks like you had a great time at the fair. I was out of town and missed it, but I was at the quilt show in Nashville so it kind of works out.
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting!
