This is my first quilt, but I have been sewing since I was 10. He had always inspired me to get back to my creative side and it is because of him that I also make jewelry. I do a lot of other crafts, but this is the most special item I will ever make in my life. Looking forward to sharing with all of you!!
Welcome from a Virginian born living in Washington. I am sorry to hear about your nephew. But what you are doing for your sister is priceless. I would like to volunteer to quilt your top for you when you are finished piecing it. I just lost my dad on Christmas Eve and then I quilted 82 quilt tops in his honor for American Heros and they helped me tremendously with the grief. So if I can lighted the grief you and your sister feel I would be quite honored.
Thank you,
Sherryl
