Many families pass down items to the next generation. I can remember my dad giving me a quilt that my great-grandmother made by hand.
As you can see the quilt is too big for the picture and this is a very big quilt. I can only imagine how many hours it took her to finish just one quilt and she did this all by hand, no sewing machine involve. Her hand stitching was impeccable and she made several of these quilts and they are very thick and heavy. So heavy that years ago I tried putting this quilt on my bed one winter while we were living in Germany and I had to take it off because I was literally about to burn up.
I hope to be able to pass this very quilt down to my kids and keep the tradition going. She was an awesome seamstress and I hope to be as good as her one day.
Jewelry is the same way and I am so excited about this heirloom item that has been added to our Etsy shop.
