I have 2 passions - researching the family history and Needlework. I have decided to blend the two together and stitch my family tree then make it into a quilt/wall hanging - depends how big it gets.

My kids love helping me with the research so hopefully this will be a way for them to keep all the information together and last a little longer. I have even taught my 2 eldest kids to sew just in case they have to take over and finish it off  ;D

Well thats the plan anyways...

A genetic predisposition towards a large rear end.

Totally untamable and unruly curly hair.

My great grandmother's dining suite, currently in use at my house.

Lots of bits of scrap paper with undecipherable scribble about dead people who "might" be related to us.

17 foolscap sized ring binders with information on dead people that I know are related to us.

A love of mysteries.

A desire to solve them.

The ability to simply live day to day and accept what comes your way.

Oh yes Kickbuttgirlie
My two passions are needlework and tracing my family tree and I would also like to embroider both mine and my husband's family for our children to keep.
Quite an undertaking, though.
Maybe one for my retirement!

Interesting subject folks!!


It has to be the information I have collected regarding my family line. As I have no children of my own I will be passing details on to both my nieces. I do have another line on the go that will be passed to my OH's children for their future.
I guess apart from a few pieces of jewellery there will be not much of financial value. This is not of great importance to us as we feel that the past and memories are the key. Memories to me are a great part of our past and our childhoods are precious Lincsbabe
