The picture of your Dad and Grannie is my fav but then I like the wedding picture too.<br /><br />Memories are nice to keep. I have lots of pictures like that but they weren't so good about journaling who, what, when and where's of the pictures.

So many days, we just go thru life on "auto-pilot" without noticing the good things. You are not only good quilting inspiration, you are a great reminder to stop and notice the little things in life that are so important.

Take to either Walgreens or Sams. Use their machine and ask it to restore the photo. Somehow the machine can make them look almost exactly like the day they were made. I've fixed black and whites and very old color ones too. They always come out beautiful.It isn't more expensive to do this than to do regular enlargements or regular photos on the machine. The one thing that is good it scans and you can make a CD of these and redone. It is amazing what the machines can do. Just thought I would let you know.<br /> Wanda from Texastljwljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907953292771380886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22649398274983458092013-01-09T01:44:42.228-05:002013-01-09T01:44:42.228-05:00Wow!

I have been lucky to be able to collect and display pictures going back 5 generations in both mine and my husbands family. I have had them hanging on the stairway to the second floor. My children and grandchildren have enjoyed seeing them and learning of the connections to themselves. They are now down and safely packed ready to our new home in Alabama.

"Tow" are short linen fibers, 2-4". The are the leftovers from 2-3' line flax. I'm not a spinner/weaver but I do love textiles, and I learned a lot from the book "Irish People, Irish Linen," which was one of my favorite reads of 2012.Nannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239289676429380866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45852449930270182182013-01-08T17:43:01.952-05:002013-01-08T17:43:01.952-05:00I love the old B & W photoe.
