Next year I'll try to do the same for the 14 great grandchildren of mom's. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation.
Yes, I have mum's clothing here too and I am planning to sew them into sheets to be included in quilts for her 3 grandchildren. So far progress is slow. I have done one backing for a large quilt which is waiting to be quilted (sigh) and intend to make a few more. Problem is mum never liked ironing and so her clothes are mainly made of crease free fabrics that are not cotton and some are quite thin. So I have to sew them onto cotton fabric for strength and then piece them. Just one step more to do. Will get there in the end, I'm sure.
I like what you are going to do for the grandchildren and great grandchildren. They will be ever so happy when they receive your handmade gifts.
