Did your grandmother use to make quilts? Apparently, for many grandmothers, this is a wonderful way to spend their time, and some even teach their grandchildren how to create quilts.
Margaret Hubl used to make really beautiful quilts. When she died at the age of 89, her funeral became a testament to how great of a grandmother she used to be. Margaret was an avid quilter, but it wasn't only a hobby of hers – it was her way of letting her family know how much she loves them.
In honor of her legacy, her kids and grandkids decided to display all the quilts she had ever made at her funeral. They draped her amazing creations over the back of the church pews as a way to honor Margaret and remember her as the family's matriarch.
The quilts all looked stunning, but Margaret created each one of them for a special reason.
Margaret was already a mother of three children when her sister-in-law died in a tragic accident. With nobody left to care for her twins, Margaret and her husband, Henry, took them in. Together, the couple raised all five kids in a small three-bedroom home on their farm.
Margaret first took up sewing to provide clothes for all her children, but as they grew up and started their own families, she had to make the little ones something as well. That's when she got into quilting. She began making them for each grandchild as they graduated from high school.
Margaret put a lot of thought into each quilt and who would be receiving it.
As the years went by, Margaret put more time into making her quilts. Each grandchild received them as a gift on their wedding day.
Her family decided to display all these quilts during Margaret's funeral, with each creation serving as a reminder of just how much they were loved and how special their grandmother was.
