Left Over bits Of Yarn

How many knitters would save bits of yarn.Well I am one.I do that in alot of things I have left over.Like food,pie crust,fabric etc.I have a friend that can't believe I save bits of leftover pie crust,put it in the freezer ,keep adding to it and then when I have enough,voila another pie crust.I guess I learned that when I was growing up.Nothing was wasted.I don't think Mother froze her pie crust.LOL The name Henderson (maiden name) is Scottish,perhaps that is where all this saving is comming from.LOL Check back later to see what is going to happen to this stash of yarn

Crazy Quilt Made By Aunt Minnie Day

This is a crazy quilt made by my Great Aunt,Minnie Day.It is dated 1883-1895.There are many initials embroidered on it,which I expect are family and friends.It is made from many types of fabrics,silk,velvets etc.Minnies sister was Eliza Day-Henderson my grandmother.She was a seamstress and I expect most of the fabric was leftover pieces from the dresses and gowns Eliza made.Most every piece has something embroidered on it.This quilt was passed down to me,I suppose as I am a quilter and interested in quilts.
