What are some of your other passions and interests beyond swimming?

Originally posted by craiglll@yahoo.com I grew up with Norwegian great grandparents who were immigrants. They use to make crazy quilts. My mom hated them. She threw many of them away. Now I wonder what they would be worth. My mother also had a quilt made by one of her friends that was the history of this woman's family's move into Oklahoma. When my mom died, no one knew where the quilt was. I think one of her friends stole it. A lot depends on the condition and the quality of the hand work. Many crazy quilts were made from silks, satins, and velvets -- and many of those examples suffer from significant fabric deterioration, which decreases the value. I have a couple crazy quilts. The most interesting one is made of wool (men's clothing), which is uncommon, and it is heavily embellished with crewel yarn. When you see it in person, it almost glitters. Pic attached.
