Grandma Bette #2

My Grandma Bette was an excellent quilter.  She would sew them all by hand.  Unfortunately she had to give up what she loved because she could no longer see the stitching; and she wouldn’t settle for making a quilt on the sewing machine.  I’m not passing judgment on people that make quilts on a sewing machine; it was just not my grandma’s preference. 

 This quilt became my bedspread for almost six years.  

As my grandma grew older and couldn’t finish a quit by her self; she joined a quilting guild.  In this guild, women would get together and work on one quilt together.  They would then auction them off for charity. 

What touches me the most is that before she stopped being able to make quilts on her own; she made two quilts.  One for me and one for my sister just in case we had children one day.  She made quilts for her unborn great grandchildren.  That just touches my heart to the very core and shows how much my Grandma Bette truly loved each of us in her own way.  My sister received her’s at her baby shower but my mom told me they were different and won’t show me mine until I have children.
