We have washed them and my sister, whom doesn't really like quilts, has requested to have the family tree quilt. I am so pelased I made these quilts for the women of my family and now have them for my sister and I to wrap ourselves in. I am a youngish quilter and these two quilts were earlier in my quilting life and I don't see the errors any longer but the love of the women in my life. Don't let perfection rob you of making quilts for those you love!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Having the quilt you made for your mother will bring you comfort.

So sorry to hear of your loss, take heart that she is no longer suffering.
|
So sorry you lost your mom at such a young age. What a wonderful keepsake you and your sister each will have with those beautiful quilts.
When my mom passed a few months ago, I was pleased that the eldest grandson wanted to have her quilts. Another generation of quilt lovers!! Hugs and prayers to you and your family. Patti |
so sorry for your loss, but glad that you each have a special quilt to wrap yourselves up in

I'm so sorry about your mom's passing. Every time you look at those quilts, you will be reminded of the women who loved them (and you) so much!
