Question: Where did I pick up all these quilting bookmarks? Now I do like quilts, but I’m pretty sure I never attended any of these events in the late 1990s and early 2000s. They did print a lot of different bookmarks though.

Quilting seems to be a big thing over the pond, not so much over here. Nice set but how can you not know where they came from?

I had an aunt who was a true master quilter and she’d sometimes do a bit of quilting with my mom, but my mom really wasn’t into it as much. I think quilts are great but I don’t think it’s as big a hobby as it once was.
These are just freebie bookmarks I likely picked up in various places and over a period of at least seven years going on the dates printed on them. So going back and finding them twenty-plus years later I’m not too surprised I don’t remember where I got them. I’m actually a bit surprised I kept them all together.

We have a genuine Amish quilt that my mom got from one of our amish neighbors. It was a wedding gift and almost 20 years later it is as good as the day we got it.

Yep, I have one that my mom did that I slept with all through my childhood. It’s a little frayed now and I don’t actually use it, but I’ve certainly kept it.

Not warm enough any more?

I just didn’t want it to wear anymore. It’s gone from being functional to being a keepsake.

I remember bookstores that had stacks of bookmarks from other organizations as free advertising. Could be that’s how you got them…?

I’m pretty sure it is. The bookmarks were basically like flyers. You don’t see many of them anymore though.
