 This month our group is remembering MaMa and Grandma.  For many those memories revolve a cherished quilt.   A cherished family heirloom.   For many thier memories are of MaMa and Grandma hand stitching a quilt.  I have no such fond memories.  It's fine. Because I never actually thought about it.  What you don't know about you can't miss it or crave it.  When my daughter was in 2nd grade I began making our own family heirlooms and memories.   They are not the same 'Real' Heirlooms as those hand stiched but they are 'Ours'.  She and I love the quilts I have made her and my grandchildren.   In planning for this month we knew one of our topics had to focus on quilts and our memories of MaMa and Grandma.  I went to a book The Quilt Life for inspiration.  I read about the pattern Turkey Tracks.  I had heard of it.  Seen it before but didn't know 'about it'  I learned the pattern is involved in superstition.  From the book . . .  "Wandering Foot&#
