Carol in Colorado

When my mom died at 87 (the only quilter in the family) I decided that someone needed to keep her legacy going. I guess it will be me. She always made her own clothing so I took all of her dresses, with aprons to match, and cut them up to make some very simple throws for my 2 sisters, my 2 daughters, and myself. I tied the first few then tried stitch in the ditch on others. We will always have a special reminder of her. Now I'm addicted and even dream about quilts!!!!!

They are so beautiful..what a nice thing for you to do for everyone!
Kinda makes you feel surrounded by your mother's love, doesn't it?

Absolutely. Sure makes me miss her though - I wish she were here so we could share this love.
