My Grandad’s Family Tree Quilt
Many years ago, my Mom decided to create a Family Tree Quilt for my Granddad. She wanted a large display piece that could be used as a wall hanging or on a bed to showcase the family tree. This Family Tree quilt is no longer current. Many grandkids have gotten married and great grandkids have been born. It’s time to do some updates.
Family Tree Quilt
Mom has never been a quilter. But she knew how to use her sewing and craft skills to create a treasure. She used a special paint marker and designed the tree on a piece of fabric. Then she used scrap material to quilt the border. Instead of quilting the whole piece, she just tacked it with small pieces of yarn. For the tree outline, she used an embroidery stitch on her machine.

This is definitely a family heirloom. Isn’t it neat how different people honor and remember their history?
How do you display and remember your family tree? I’d love to see your family tree heirlooms.
I have never seen one like that before, love it. I would love to know more about my family tree so I could make one.
This is great, awesome keepsake!
This is so awesome! I love ancestry what a great way for future generations to see who came before them!
What a great way to show off a family tree!
I think this is a great idea, and lovely for someone like me who cannot sew worth a darned
Also, the fact that you can update it is great, families are constantly changing now!
That is so neat! I love it! I want to do this for my dad. What a great keepsake!
Thats really a beautiful and unique way of displaying the family tree. I’m still in the process or doing our family tree, Im into the 1800′s but since I started blogging its gone on the back burner, I would love to complete it and will one day. x
