Memory quilt

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on here lately. I'm quilting up a storm. Finally,
finally, finally finished my daughter-in-law's memory quilt. When her
daughter (my granddaughter) called her at work to tell her the quilt had
finally arrived, she began to cry. And when she got home my DGD had laid
the quilt out on her bed so she would see it full view, and she broke down
and cried again.
She asked that I thank all of you for the fabrics that I used which you
had sent me after the death of my son. She says it is so beautiful and she
will not let anyone else touch it. I thought that was such a wonderful
tribute as well as a little funny. She is a strong willed woman, so I'm
sure that rule will stick. VBG
Thank you all so much in helping me make this quilt for her and thank
you again for your warming thoughts at the time of his loss and the loss of
my DH. It has been a long hard road, emotionally, and still isn't always
"smooth sailing", but I'm keeping myself somewhat busy.
I have told each of my step-children and their families that, "God
willing and the creek don't rise", I'll have a quilt for each of them by
Christmas - all 5 of them. The top of one is nearly completed except for
borders and then the quilting, of course. Plus I just completed a quilt
requested (commissioned) for my nephew who also lives in Calif. The pic of
his quilt follows the label I embroidered for Tina's quilt.

quilting everyone. It is truly great therapy.

It's good to see you again, Marlys! And the quilt is just gorgeous --
very peaceful and serene.

Marlys,

It's so good to hear from you again. Thanks for sharing the story of
the memory quilt - I'm thankful your DDIL understands what a wonderful
gift she has been given, not only the quilt, but also having you for a
mother in law.

It was good to revisit your quilts this evening. I had forgotten how
beautiful they were. Thanks for sharing.
