Quilts

My mother and I have been sneaking a little time on the weekends to start the drapery for the Under Hill Suite. Many of the curtains and other fabrics will be quilted (as befits a cozy underground home).

I have fond memories of my mother and grandmother sewing together — quilting racks filling the living room. And, when I was old enough, I joined them (pricking my fingers on the tiny needles 😂). But it has been many years since my mother and I quilted together — returning to it now feels like stealing a piece of my childhood and bringing it into the present.
