It was my bonnet girl quilt... covered in mud but not a tear in it. It now resides on the bed in her guest room of her new house. Living proof that a sister's love can't be destroyed.

Beautiful quilts and very nicely done. These are so pretty, and I would love all of them but the patterns are a bit expensive to have them ALL..... Very nice art work. Thank you for the link. This kind of work fascinates me and is my favorite kind to do. Great story about the quilt surviving the storm. Sister love is indestructible!!
