Model "A" Tumbler Quilt
 

One of our Model "A" car club members wife sadly was stricken with Alzheimers a couple of years ago. She passed last week. At the wake I was taken back by the quilt I made which was displayed on the kneeling bench at the funeral home. This is their 1929 Ford Model A Woody that I asked him to take photos of with the quilt. He did such a great job with the photos. He said she always sat holding the quilt. It warms my heart knowing she loved both the quilt and her car. RIP Barbara.

What a beautiful tribute to your friend. I love the car and the picture.

Awesome story and pictures. So sorry for your loss.

I know it must warm your heart knowing she loved the quilt that much. Thank you for sharing your story and the pictures. How very bittersweet and wonderful.

Great job on the quilt, and a lovely old car. Sorry to hear of your friend's passing, but it's so nice to know that she enjoyed the quilt. I am currently working on a Tumbler for my sister for Christmas.

My sentiments too.

That was so nice to make it for someone who appreciated your talents.

It's nice to know someone used and appreciated your gift.

Sorry about the loss...love the pics of the car with the quilt.

So sorry for your loss. I know you will always treasure that picture. Love the Woody and the quilt.

What a nice memory for you.

It's always a good feeling when you know that the recipient of your work treasured it. What a wonderful tribute to you, to know that it provided comfort to her over the years. I'm sure it will do the same for her husband while he struggles with his loss. So sorry for the loss of your friend.

It is a comfort to know she appreciated the quilt.

Awesome car, so glad you found out she loved your quilt. I know that will bring you comfort as well.

Such a sweet story, and what a good friend you are indeed. So sorry for your loss

Beautiful quilt and touching story.

What a wonderful picture. I'm sure she loved that you made that quilt for her.

Sorry for your loss. The tumbler quilt is very nice.

Love the picture. Your quilt is beautiful, too. What an honor for you that they thought so much of it.

Pretty quilt. Isn't it nice to know that your gift gave such comfort. Having worked with Alzheimer patients I can truly appreciate the comfort she received from your quilt. It was most likely the only tangible thing she could cling to. God bless you for the comfort you provided.

You obviously made a good quilt for your friend. Sorry for your loss.

Love your story and am sorry for the loss of a special friend. We all need to remember that cars haven;t always had heaters-you had to bring your own. So your quilt was so perfect for the car. What a beautiful car. After quilts I love antique cars.

I hope fond memories of your friend will remain in your heart just as she seemed comforted by your quilt... Often times we are unaware of the impact we have on someone's life.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Nice to know that your quilt gave her some measure of comfort.

So sorry your friend passed, but her Hubby will get comfort from it, wonderful car :)
