I started quilting last summer by making a quilted door hanger for my mother's assisted living room door. Soon after that I went to a funeral for my friend's grandmother. The family had hung her quilts all over the church alter, steps, rails, etc. I was very touched to see her casket surrounded by many hours of her love as well as her legacy that she was leaving to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Soon after the funeral I went to my first quilting class and am now about to complete my second fullsize quilt. I can only hope that my family treasures my creations sometime in the future.
