Ancestry Quick Tip

Memory Quilt

I just made a photo quilt for my godchild's graduation—forty-two quilt squares of the first eighteen years of her life. Some of the squares feature multiple photos. I actually bought the slightly imperfect squares from Jenkins Company thru the internet--twenty for $13.00. There is also a product available where you can make your own sheets for your printer. I like the easy way out. But wouldn't it be just wonderful to scan and print the photos of all your ancestors--childhood, wedding, special events, etc. What an heirloom! This will be my winter project. And wouldn't it make a good fundraiser for reunions.
