I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 21 year old daughter 4 years ago, so I do know what you are going through.
Quilting is a good release and I am sure that your son is smiling at his mother's creativity.
I wish I could tell you the pain gets better, I can't. I have just found ways to live with it.
Keep quilting, I know your son would be proud of you.

OH, Jennie, that is so pretty. I know your son would be proud of you. So glad you found quilting. There is a sort of therapy in making quilts either for yourself or for special people in your life.Each one has a story and comes from being inspired & motivated to create out of that inspiration. It
It's a heart thing for most quilters I find. I know it is for me. Hugs from Texas.

One of my corners was just a little off, but I was proud of myself for a first try. Very emotional too, I lost my son last year and felt I needed something in my life to get me through the winter. His name was Joshua and he was only 26 years old. The quilt top is spread out on his bed right now. I think he'd smile! The Lord blesses us in many ways doesn't he?
Blessings,
Carol

I am so sorry your son had to leave you at such a young age but your quilt is a wonderful tribute and Joshua is surely smiling down on you.
I haven't been quilting long and I would be very proud to make a quilt as beautiful!
