Family Quilts
After my mom passed away in May of 2013, I was at a loss as to what to do with her 150+ sweatshirts! She loved sweatshirts and wore them at every special occasion and holiday. She had Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, card playing, moose sleeping, bird watching, cruise taking sweatshirts. So, I decided to make a quilt for myself, my two brothers, and her 10 grandchildren. What may have appeared like a daunting task, was healing for me. It was a way to keep her in our lives, her quirkiness, her humor, her passions. It was an honor to work on these and complete them. A true labor of love. Miss you mom.
