Challenge_5_-_Journaling_Medium_

Photo Details
Poster: gailfort  (see this users gallery)

Here\'s my entry for Challenge #5. This was sort of hard for me because I\'m not real comfortable journaling for hundreds to see!

Journaling reads:
Thanks to my Mamaw and my Aunt NettieBeth. They were avid quilters and I loved sitting under that quilting frame when I was small. I can still hear their laughter when someone told some juicy gossip! Mamaw said she did some of her best thinking and problem-solving when she had a needle and thread in her hand. They taught me the joy of friendship while sitting around that quilt frame, also. Every female that entered Mamaw’s house when the frame was up was invited to sit down and put in a few stitches. Some wonderful friendships developed around those quilts. When I look at Mamaw’s quilts now I can still remember some of the stories told while she was working on that quilt. More importantly, I can remember those friends who are no longer with us. I’m the only grandchild who embraced Mamaw’s love of quilting and I’ve tried to instill it in my own children. While they appreciate it, they have yet to pick up that needle and thread, but there’s still time for that.

Gail, this is getting stranger by the minute. We have so much in common. I too quilt. Well, I learned how to and once I started to scrapbook I ran out of time and now I just scrapbook. But wow, it's amazing how much we have in common. We make a great team. I have many many unfinished projects though and have only completed baby quilts for gifts. I do have a queen size one complete but only because I made the top and had someone quilt it for me. I one day will take all the tops I have started and maybe have them completed. Awesome job on your journaling and layout.

Well, all I can say is thankyou for sharing. I really feel that the journalling is what makes the difference. Apart from the journalling, you have put so much thought into the details and it shows. Love the grid BG, the cross stitches, the stitched tags, and the beautiful photos. Gorgeous.
