[QUOTE=Sewnoma;7224435]The good news is that a patched quilt is an even-more-loved quilt! I have my "blankie" that my gran made for me when I was little, and it has been patched over and over again. I love each and every patch because some of them have stories (parts of other family member's old clothing, for example) and every patch is proof my "Grammy" loved me.
My cousin still has his patched-up "blankie" too."
Sewnoma - your response reminds me of MY cousin. She had a Raggedy Anne doll that she loved to pieces. Her mom sewed a new doll and stuffed it with the old doll! My Aunt made sure that my cousin saw the old "Precious" go inside of the new one! My cousin is now 60 years old and still has that "new" doll sitting on an antique rocker.
Thanks for bringing back that sweet memory!
