My grandma (my mom's mother) died in October '09, and I asked for, and was given, quite a few of grandma's housedresses (aka dusters). I want to make each of my aunts and uncles (7 total) something small from them -- perhaps a pictorial wallhanging or pillow, etc. Mom, however, gets something really special. I will use the fabric from the different dresses for the backgrounds of the nameflakes and make the flakes in coordinating solid colors. I will use the names of my mom's siblings, her name, and grandma and grandpa's names. Two of my mom's siblings died as infants, but I will include their names, too. The center block will be a picture of grandma and grandpa. I think mom will love it! 8-)
