I just wanted to share this with all of you because it really touched me and I thought it would be such a great idea. A lady I met briefly shared an idea with me that she came up with years ago. She saved all her household items, such as curtains, cloth napkins, tablecloths, sheets and pillowcases........as well as old clothing and pajamas that her children wore throughout their childhood. She put them each in a box that was labeled with each childs name and when they got older and got married, she made each one a quilt made out of the things she had saved in those boxes. Can you imagine the flood of memories when that child would look at each block? I thought this was such a wonderful idea and I just had to share it with you. It's too late for me to do for my children, but I am going to start doing this for my grandchildren.
