I don't know if I am hooked up to that kind of thing... I don't know that I can pm. You can try. Otherwise, try [email protected] (make sure that is an oh and not a zero).

Mary, Have you seen the photo frame for a child that you put the picture in for each year of school??? How about Mom's photo in the middle and photos of her favorite quilts around it???

That's a great idea too Tink's mom.

My daughter just completed one of those frames of my granddaughter.

My daughters is the Baby first year frame. You put a picture in the center and then add pictures around that. When you do it for the baby you add one picture for every month. But, like the other suggestion is for every school year the child is in.

I have pictures of all the quilts I have made and the little album got so full I have finally started putting it all into a scrapbook, along with pieces of the fabric used (when I still have it) and notes about the quilt, who got it, when it was made, where the pattern came from. . .

It would be less expensive and a labor of love to put all your Mother's work together in a lovely scrapbook. Just a thought. I also really like the DVD idea set to music.

I would add more photos and sayings, and anything else that represents "Mom" for you. We have a business that scans pictures and prints them on fabric. If you had such a resource, they could help you lay out all the photos and you would end up with a single panel. You could decide if you want to embellish that or cut apart and resew into squares.

What a nice way to honor your Mom and carry on her tradition.
