This poem, Memory Room by Don Blanding, was published in 1935, in the same-titled book of poetry. It is related to the poem Crazy Quilt, also by Blanding. Click on the image and it will pop up as a larger image.
I found this poem earlier this year, called Crazy Quilt. It is by Don Blanding from his book Memory Room published in 1935. I will post the poem Memory Room seperately - not quilt related, by it is a wonderful read and goes well with the Crazy Quilt poem.
I was taught to embroider when I was 6 years old at my mother's knee. I have over 55 years experience - you do the math! I have been quilting with a passion since 2000, and have been teaching since 2002 at several of the local quilt shops. I currently give lectures and classes on Redwork and Crazy Quilting as time allows.
I have been a member of three local quilting guilds:
Common Threads (also president for 2 yrs),
Broome County Quilters and
Stepping Stones.
I have also been a member of AQSG - American Quilt Study Group.
I am back to work full time - so I joined the 2013 Crazy Quilt Journal Project - an on-line group.
I am a member of the NYS Quilter's Consortium.
