I made a quilt for my grandmother many years ago and added my full name to the back since I was named for my mother, my father and my grandmother - my name is JOAN LORRAINE(2 letters for John and 2 letters for Anita, my parents and my middle name is after Gram. I had hoped it would come back to me someday but it never did. I think part of that is because we lived on opposite coasts. I believe my aunt, her one surviving child now has it.
I had a wonderful older best friend quilter who needed to go into a facility when her time on this earth was becoming to a close. I used blocks she had made to make a nice lap quilt to cover her in her last days. It included a picture of both of us on the label. When she passed a few weeks later her brother gave it to me. I cherish it and use it whenever I take a quick cat nap. In fact, I just used it a short while ago before signing on here. Each time I pull it out I am reminded of our long friendship. She was a treasure and this quilt is as well.
