My Momma Sewed My Clothes
 
1 Attachment(s)
I saved the scraps from the clothes I made Lawrie from her toddler days through college. I wasn't even a quilter. Near the end of 2002, I started trying to make quilts. She received this for Christmas 2013.

Here she is standing by her quilt as it hangs in the Pine a Belt Fiber Art & Quilt Show this past weekend.

It won an honorable mention award.

It's beautiful. Congratulations on your award. You can tell, Laurie loves it.

Congratulations for your ribbon and your very pretty daughter. I love that you made your quilt from her clothes. Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful idea! I have quilts with scraps leftover from my dresses in them, but me nor mom neither thought of doing something like this. Wish I had.

Delbra 10-08-2014 05:19 PM

Awesome quilt.
