My grandmother used to ordsprog

My grandmother used to make beautiful quilts. I loved to help her pick out the colors. She taught me how to sew and make quilts when I was only seven or eight years old. I used to collect my scraps of cloth to make quilts right along with her. And I used to make my own school clothes.

In the Amish country, the average price is between $1,000 and $1,500. Art quilts can go for much more than that, just like an artist's oil painting. Handmade quilts are more valuable than machine-made quilts. Some of them take six months to a year to make.

They also make lap quilts for wounded soldiers, which gives the soldiers a connection with people who care for them, and we will have two quilts on display.

During the month before the home tour, we spread out about 100 quilts and do a quilt grab. Each house's representative gets to pick which quilts will look nicest in the homes. It's becomes a real free-for-all.

There will be an awareness event at the Lincoln Memorial (Saturday) from 11 to 1, and the quilts will be displayed there at the Lincoln Memorial at that time. At this time, I think we have quilts from 48 states and several countries. Janelle Edwards and I will attend the conference. We will be taking two quilts from the U.P. and one from West Texas. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration.

We spend months and years making quilts for births, weddings and other special occasions. If you start with high-quality material, (the quilts) are not going to shred or fall apart.

We thought we will make quilts for them.

We ask them to make the quilts no larger than 36 x 40 inches.

I love what used to be called women's work. When women make quilts or something like that, it was something they could pick up or put down, and go back to after they start dinner or weed the garden or whatever... feed the baby. I like that. I liked knowing where I was going to be for a while.

I don't know if we'll make any more quilts for Romania after we send these, but we'll still be making things for Ridgecrest Healthcare Center and to fill other needs.

For years, I made traditional quilts. I taught quilting through the Parks & Recreation (in Brookfield) and quilt stores.

We have painted our walls and added quilts for texture, pictures of home and farm life to make the area as homelike as possible. We add new ideas and change the atmosphere to meet the needs of our residents.

I do too. Quilts are made to be used and loved.

She wants to have more quilts on display than I have. I have 17 here now.

It's our first chance to get something before the public who may not know what art quilts are.
