My first quilting memory was seeing for the first time the amazing quilts my Mennonite friend created by hand ... inspiring me to start this amazing quilting journey. Thanks so much for the fantastic blocks, quilting designs and projects you've been creating for all of us.

My Mom had a king sized quilt that her Grandma made for her wedding. The squares were so small and it was all hand sewn. Various older family members were able to recognize many fabrics that were used in the quilt. I loved that quilt and became determined to learn how to quilt someday.

My grandmother was always making quilts with feed sacks by hand. In those days feed sacks came in so many different colors and patterns. I have a few of them and cherish them.

My first memory is a quilt my grandfather had made for all the grandkids before he passed. We received it after he was gone but it was a beautiful reminder. I still have it 40 years later.

[@paulamcbay6938]

My grandmother did and around the world quilt in 2.5 inch squares . It is all hand pieced and quilted. Alway fascinated me how it went from one color into the next. Still have it and couldn't be happier to have it.

I have no childhood memories of quilts/quilting. My introduction to them was 5 years ago when I joined a local sewing group after I retired and I’ve made quite a few since then. Great hobby.

My first quilt was the disappearing card trick after taking a class. My mom did not sew growing up, didn’t even know how to sew on a button. Was wowed how the block came together just from pieces of fabric. Been hooked ever since.

Playing on my grandmothers treadle sewing machine, it ended up in our basement and I played on it all the time. I learned to sew on it too. Now it is in my garage needing a few repairs but the machine still works. The wood drawers fell off but a friend is going to repair it soon. I made 9 patch quilts for my boys sleep mats in Kindergarten. First quilt project. My youngest son's mat is on our twin bed in the guest bedroom. I made it from excess fabrics leftover from all the maternity shirts I sewed for myself.

My 1st memory of quilts were at my Nannies. I loved her Chenille bedside and her Scrappy YoYo quilt. There was just something about the comfort of snuggling up under them to make all your pains go away. I still love scrappy and chenille today.

My first memory of quilting is working at a Laura Ashley store and discovering quilt blocks so I just started figuring them out. have loved quilting ever since.

My memory is making my first quilt when I was 15. It was a tied queen size 9 patch. I used it in my bed all thru college.

[@cathypearson1889]

The first quilt I made was when my niece was born in 1993. I took a hand quilting class and made a 42" square quilt for her that was completely done by hand. It took almost 6 months to make but I was really proud of it.

[@jamersb2737]

My first memory of a quilt was receiving one from my aunt as a kid. It was hand tied with pink yarn and had my name appliquéd in a block. Still have it under my bed all tucked away for safe keeping.

[@bobbiemorris910]

What do I love about fall? I love Thanksgiving, I love the trees changing color, I love t he “nip” in the air, I love holidays with friends and family….fall seems to be a cornucopia of all the things I LOVE❤❤❤❤

[@janetrankin2939]

My first memory of quilting is with my grandma teaching me hand embroidery blocks. We would hand embroider so many blocks then piece them together into a quilt.

[@dalefulton4242]

My first memory of quilts was as a child my mom used old quilts as a mattress pad. They were old and worn out but I always thought they were too soft and colorful to be hidden away.

[@nancyalderin2573]

I learned how to sew clothes back in school, but no quilting until I was in my late 50’s. A co-worker introduced me to quilting. I loved 🥰 it. My first quilt was a pattern by Joel Dewberry! Love his fabric and patterns! I thank Candy, my co-worker and wonderful friend for introducing me to it. It has brought me do much joy!!

My first memory of a quilt was when I started sewing one about 10 years ago.

[@dyane1869]

Hi girls. I’m really enjoying my MeTimeDelivered box every month. I love your tip on adding the backing to the block while still in the hoop. It would be awesome if you actually added that to the block file itself, giving us that option😉💜

My first memory is of my grandmother and her sister tying a quilt on a big quilt frame.

[@lflines]

I still have the quilt that my grandmother made for me so many years ago. It was mostly hand sewn with very small pieces of fabric, it's truly a work of heart. I appreciate it even more now that I'm learning to sew, quilt and embroider.

[@shellybernat9683]

My memory is of spending the night at my grandparents home and having a wonderfully soft quilt to snuggle into. I’ve always loved quilts but am only now starting to learn how to quilt in my retirement!!

My first memory of quilting is my grandmother's beautiful quilts. My grand mother was very old when I came along so sadly I didn't get to learn from her but I learned how to quilt in honor of my Granny. 💕

[@craftylady711]

My great aunt Helen made summer quilts out of yo-yos. We would visit and sleep under them. They were so silky they would slide off the bed

[@melaniecall]

My first memory of quilting was when my friends and I tried all kinds of crafts and when we picked quilting …. I was hooked!

[@karencarr5923]

My memory is when my great grandmother, my grandmother and my mom hand quilted a baby quilt for my first child. I still have that quilt as it not only was a gift for my daughter but represents five generations.
