The fabric in your mother's favorite dress is so beautiful. The bags you made from the dress are spectacular! What a wonderful and useful memory you created for each of your sisters and granddaughter.

Oh my goodness, brought tears to my eyes, my mom also passed on Mar. 12th, but in 2009, I have all her clothes, and have been wondering what to make for my three sisters and brothers as a momentum. What a great idea and job you did on those purses, your sisters will love them.

There are no words to discribe this wonderful sentimental act of love.
peace to all

What a great idea!! Bet it's hard for you to pick which one you want.

Maureen 07-16-2011 07:06 PM

Oh My goodness! That is such a nice gift/idea. Kudos!

Sewfine 07-16-2011 09:51 PM

Awesome.

QM 07-16-2011 09:56 PM

That was a marvelous idea. It also says a great deal about HER that you sisters want to remember her this way and to share with each other.

A guild sister of mine made lap quilts for her brothers and sisters (6!) with fabric prints from the family albums. those were enjoyed too.

Anael 07-16-2011 10:06 PM

Beautiful. I think I never would be able to use a purse like that without crying. My mom passed away 13 years ago and I still miss her every day.

Kitsapquilter 07-16-2011 11:28 PM

Great job. Those purses are just wonderful. Question though, the dress came through as being black and gold or tan. The purses look blue though. Which color is right? No matter the color they are still beautiful. Great job on your part!

jrharry 07-17-2011 12:17 AM

I have fabric from my Mom also and I just love this idea. They are perfect and thanks so much for sharing.

normasews 07-17-2011 12:32 AM

Wow! What a wonderful idea. I'm sure your sisters will appreciate all the work and love you poured into making these amazing bags.

earthwalker 07-17-2011 12:41 AM

What a brilliant idea. They all came out so beautifully. Amazing what you can do with 1 favourite dress. Each of them will have a lovely reminder of your Mother and also of the very special sister who made it all possible. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

annthreecats 07-17-2011 02:20 AM

That was a very good idea and executed perfectly. Thantks for sharing.

Wow......this is such a great idea! Love how you added your Mom's name in the purse! They all look wonderful.

DeniseB 07-17-2011 03:23 AM

craftymatt2 07-17-2011 03:51 AM

WOW, what a great job you did, your bags are beautiful and your sisters will be so pleased. Such a beautiful reminder.

thequilteddove 07-17-2011 03:53 AM

Fantastic idea! You all will REALLY be 'carry'n your mother with you' every time you use them! If it is possible that our loved ones can 'visit' us, I'm sure your mom has a little tear in her eye & a great big smile on her face :) She's probably tell'n all her heavenly friends to come look & see what you all did :)

PurplePassion 07-17-2011 03:53 AM

Great idea, they turned out beautiful.

twinkie 07-17-2011 03:53 AM

Homemother 07-17-2011 04:20 AM

Treasures!!!

nunnyJo 07-17-2011 04:21 AM

aaaw, so special, you will always have Mom with you

meemersmom 07-17-2011 04:22 AM

What a beautiful sentiment and great story. Make sure you add a little packet of tissues to each bag --- your sisters are gonna need them for themselves (and to hand out to others once they hear the back story!!) when they see the bags. Enjoy your reunion and let us all know what happened when you gave them the purses. Thank you for sharing.
