It is amazing how much love is felt by those receiving these quilts. I always called them memory quilts and have made several while the people are still with us. My first one was for my mom when my dad passed away. It had pictures of our family, the house we lived in all our lives that was sold, etc...then my mom suffered from dementia,
and now is in an alzheimer unit but the quilt is hung above her bed and some days she knows who we are. The
quilt will be displayed at her funeral and passed on to one of the grandchildren. It is also very comforting to make and give these quilts!
