What’s Your Best Quilt Memory?

And even if they weren’t “quilts” in the sense that we use it here at Princess YellowBelly Designs; which is “a pieced top of some kind that incorporates beauty made into a fabric sandwich with a backing and a middle batting layer.” 

The warmth, comfort and security that quilts generate are, quite frankly, priceless. 

Quilts are Tangible Links to Our Past

For some of us quilts have been there from our earliest childhood as symbols of warmth and love – gifts from Mom or Grandma; the quilts that kept us warm and safe for years. 

Or, for those of us who are active quilters, our most poignant memories of quilts often involve the first quilt we made, and the events that surrounded it.  The hopes, dreams, smiles, and tears that we stitched into each line of that carefully pieced coverlet. 

Whatever it is, that quilt is a part of our history, a living and impressionistic link to our personal past. 

Now is the Time to Celebrate Those Treasured Memories

Whatever your special connection to quilt memories might be, we want to know about it!  We’re building a sort of special library of the emotional connection that we have to quilts and quilted items – whether that’s an appreciation for the art or as an artist yourself.

So please, take a few minutes to fill out the form and share your special quilting memories with us. 

We’ll start publishing our own stories – and depending on what responses we get – we want to start adding video content to this special trip down our quilted memory lane.  So if you do make a submission, you might get a chance to be live on video with us! 

(Your choice, of course, don’t worry if you’re camera shy, we’ll be perfectly happy with a couple of paragraphs.)

Please, help us celebrate the special connection between quilts and memories. 

Lots of love,

Your guide to Quiltivity,

Princess YellowBelly Designs

P.S.

We LOVE pictures! Unfortunately it’s really hard to get pictures (or videos) through the website. So once you share your quilting memories, we’ll contact you personally via email to get any pictures or video content you might have. You can also just send us a really quick message via the contact form and let us know that you have a memory, and we’ll get back to you via email with a more personal connection.
