Grandmother’s Quilt (Grandpa's Love)

My grandmother's quilt is like a sieve in my body. The greatest whole is buried deep inside the painful soul. My rhythm seems to skip the beating of all breath that my lung consumes. When standing in front of the entrance of the church, I was able to feel the weight of my body moving from one side to the other. Any time, my feet may give way to my tired body. The warmth of the dead body in the room passed over my face and sent a small amount of heat to my spinal cord.

My mother likes quilts. I also brought my mother's two quilts to the show, and there were two antique quilts Sue's grandmother gave us. When these practical but beautiful people no longer think about the history of artifacts we do not have, I will remember their stories, their love, and the time they spend making these masterpieces. Clara Crabbo's mother would have expected her quilt made on Minnesota's blue earth in the second half of the 19th century to be saved from the mountain of burns in Idaho State Shelley someday. I'd like to know what a blind woman in Peoria, Illinois has to take to hand stitch incredibly detailed postage stamps inherited from my mother. I am afraid of the obvious details and care of each needle. I was also surprised that she should present a gift to a couple of missionaries that she barely knew. My mother values ​​her quilt. I remember her voice trembling slightly when she told people about the story of the quilt and the story of the woman who made it.

Family relics are important for Maggie and Dee, but the reasons are different. Maggie put emphasis on the emotional and practicality of family quilts. She learned how to obtain a quilt from her grandmother and her aunt who made that quilt. Her mother has kept quilts for Maggie since she got married. Quilts are used everyday and are highly appreciated. Maggie hinted that she saw the quilt as a memory of her grandmother and aunt when saying "I can not be a member when there is no quilt" (91).
