Here are a couple of wonderful films about quilting. I've watched them several times over the last year. Besides the creative outlet that quilting gives me, I feel a connection to the women in my family. My grandmother made quilts all her life. Every single baby, grandbaby, great-grandbaby received a quilt from grandma. Her mother also quilted. Her name was Martha Elizabeth Yarbrough Gossvener and I have 120 Grandmother's Fan blocks made by Martha in 1935. They have the pattern pieces cut out of the newspaper Home and Farm published in Arkansas with them.
