Quilt Cache
I come from a creative family. I found this photo of quilts made by my mother (Helene Hart, Arizona) and my grandmother (Laura Hart, Ohio). The quilt on the bed has a note from my mother, "the first quilt that I pieced and quilted myself." She made many quilts with my Grandma Hart. Mom pieced them and my grandmother quilted. Later she would piece my machine and hand quilt. She often embroidered on her quilts. The quilts on the rack are from my grandmothers hand, pieced and quilted.
