My daughter's dress had a shawl - both dress and shawl had embroidery. I wasn't quilting at that time, but had a friend take the shawl and make it into a baby quilt. When she opened it at a baby shower she burst into tears saying, "I remembered you saying that's what it would be good for, but NEVER thought you'd remember!" Good Mama Moment. The dresses - both hers (10 years ago) and mine (38 years ago) are hanging in the same closet here. Sigh......... So glad someone's finding a better use for one. My only hope is to have mine on display at our 50th.... (and let everyone wonder how on earth I fit into that tiny thing)
