Quilts A Dying Art/A Dying Breed

Just a small part of my personal Black History

Loved to watch the mom

and her two sisters get together

they would build this square wooden frame

this the beginning of beautiful quilts

they would sit there bond like only

sisters can and I am talkin these

Ladies in their 80s I watchthey

cut out squares cut out patterns for

beautiful warm quilts

such a variety I have

the Indian star the basket the ring the sock

they sometime would show the

younger nieces how to put together

the pieces but many of these beautiful

people have moved on they were the ones

that kept their family warm

cant forget to say all did by hand
