I now have two wedding dresses hanging in closets - my own and my daughters. My daughter's was satin and had some embroidery on it - blues and greens mostly - towards the bottom of the skirt. It also had a shawl - also satin and lightly embroidered. When she said she wouldn't wear the shawl I laughed and told her I'd make a quilt for her first baby out of it. Fast forward 8 years and I did exactly that - a baby quilt from that shawl. When she opened the gift at her shower she broke into tears. Said, "I've been thinking of this, but didn't think there was any way you remembered." A MOTHER? Not REMEMBERING? Ha!
