Mothers Memory Quilt and Matching Shams

Memory Quilts are so meaningful. Loss is difficult. It takes time to let go, move on with life without the person you love. This daughter had some of her mother's clothing items so we took those and made this precious quilt. 

This particular block was a sweatshirt with a zipper. I took the zipper out and stitched up the piece of fabric in order to keep all the cardinals intact. You could hardly tell.

We needed an extra block when she thought she only had 15 pieces of clothing, so I had this embroidery block made for her quilt. Its perfect. 

When she gathered all the clothing, she had two extra items so I combined them into blocks so that all pieces were represented in the quilt.

I also made three shams to match the quilt, two for her own daughters for free. She was another customer that was so supportive during this summer. She would write and check in on my husband, pray for us. Its awesome when customers become friends. She left wonderful feedback on my ETSY shop despite the delay in receiving her quilt.

Daddy and Girly and Math Project

It is no secret in my house that when it comes to Math, you better ask someone else.
Math Projects are not my friend.
I am thankful Paul is able to help girly make a sun cooker. There is so much MATH involved in this project.
Of course it means there is a huge time commitment too. It is 10:30 they are still working on it and he gets up at 5 am to get ready for work. Generally I take the night shift with homework. Tonight I am super thankful he was willing to stay up.
Of course we haven't even tackled reading tonight.
Its going to be a long week. We have UIL for Choir 2 days, then a district Track meet 2 days. I work MOPS Friday.
I can tell you I am probably already looking forward to Saturday.

Memory Quilts

Mother's Grandmother's Clothing

This quilt is gray with a black scroll binding and purple binding because purple was the grandmother's favorite color, I used purple binding on all three to tie them together

This is the other daughters quilt, she chose blue border fabric and brown flannel backing with the purple binding

This is the mothers quilt, the daughter to the grandmother. Her's I made as a surprise in brown fabric and brown flannel and purple binding. I love how different each of them are and there was so much excess clothing to return for other quilts later if they desire.
