She has kept in wrapped up and stashed in a closet for years, but we did bring it here when she moved in with us. It is still in that wrapper, but when my mom is gone I will get it out. It will be a quilt made as a wedding present for Trinity Ann's great,great grandmother. I would have put it on a quilt rack or something.<BR/><BR/>Crocheted blankets are so pretty too, but don't usually last as long. Mrs. Dr. Platypus (see sidebar) did send a lovely little quilt too. <BR/><BR/>And I think the other grandma is a crocheter too. <BR/><BR/>:-)Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-1161383141879279992006-10-20T17:25:00.000-05:002006-10-20T17:25:00.000-05:00I share your daughter's sentiments there. What a ...I share your daughter's sentiments there. What a blessing it will be to have an heirloom hand-crocheted blanket for the new baby from her great-grandmother!<BR/><BR/>My paternal grandmother made a quilt for me -twin bed size - and it lasted until just a couple years ago when it finally pretty much fell apart. But I used it as did all three of my children and it was something I could touch that my Grammy had made for me. She died when I was about 2 years old so I had no other "memory" things of her to hold close to me save that quilt.<BR/><BR/>My maternal grandmother was a big quilter though -made quilts from October thru April every year and I still have her last quilt which has held up very well over the years. It is well over 45 years old now and has very little markings of wear and tear on it.<BR/><BR/>Hand-made things like that truly are treasures to cherish for the love that goes into the making of them.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-1161354232391536122006-10-20T09:23:00.000-05:002006-10-20T09:23:00.000-05:00(((Singing Owl))) & (((Grandmommy))) & (((Kris)))(((Singing Owl))) & (((Grandmommy))) & (((Kris)))nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089651607213032025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-1161352113671493992006-10-20T08:48:00.000-05:002006-10-20T08:48:00.000-05:00Well my baby girl won't want for blankets.

Give Grandmommy a hug for me and tell her I love her. <BR/>It will be nice to have an heriloom to pass down to Trinity Ann for her children. You never know how long that blanket might be around. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
