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...

Martha, I found your blog off the Dear Jane mailing list. Lovely work and thanks for sharing your creative spirit. From quilting to painting to poetry you are very talented...and obviously a kind person.

Martha, your Dresden looks gorgeous!! Love your fabric choices! :)
I found this blog very interesting. I completely agree that an afternoon spent in stitching is quite a creative way of spending time. :)
