Dear Friends, Sistergirlquilts is a small business started in honor of my grandmother, Bessie Scott Jeans, who taught me to quilt when I was 10 years old. She quilted out of necessity. She didn't have beautiful fabric to choose from, only old clothing's and left over scraps. For batting, she used old blankets and heavy feed sacks, and 25lbs flour sacks for backing. Her quilts were all handmade and beautiful. It was she who nicknamed me Sister Girl. A name I will always cherish. When my grandmother died in 1987, I took two of her favorite Sunday dresses and incorporated a small piece of them in every quilt I've made since then. As a tribute to her, I have designed some beautiful quilts and wall hangings. I have tried to keep them simple, some using only scraps material. If you decide to purchase one of my patterns, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I feel grandmother is very proud. Happy quilting, Ruby J.
