As you all know I am a huge supporter of all things handmade. It supports our communities our families and our children. Making, buying and giving things that are made with love with someone's own hand and unique creativity are original and treasured forever. My Grandmother bought I think about 15 of these beautiful quilts in the 1950's in Nantucket in anticipation of grandchildren and great grandchildren to be. I have had mine all my life, my booboos tears and laughter are all over it. When she presented one to me at my baby shower for Cosima. I was and still am so moved by it and I know Cosima will always treasure her quilt from her great grandmother who dreamed of her so many years ago, just as I do.
This brings us to my next post.
