I don't have the quilt my Mom used for her treatments and riding back and forth to them. It was one of the first quilts I made and it was buried with her when she left us. It was left with her by mistake, but I grew to understand that it wasn't a mistake, it's where it should be, wrapped around my Mom.

I made a quilt for my sister back in the '80's out of polyester. I had forgotten about it & spent a night at her house last winter. It was on the bed! Then I remember it & had fun finding fabric from a favorite dress & some of my kids clothers. Some fabric I couldn't place, then remembered I made some clothes for husband's aunt. It was tied & my DD helped me do it. The backing was bought over to top & it was a horrible job. But it was warm & in wonderful condition. Guess it was my 1st attempt at quilting!! It was fun to look at.

Both stories are beautiful, so the quilts are beautiful.

What a wonderful story. I am so glad your Dad got his quilt back. Maybe you could put a new label over the the permanent marker.
I have several quilts that I inherited when my mother passed away. Some of these quilts are over 100 years old. I don't use them but I do get them out every so often just to look at them.

Yes, I have a quilt my DH's grandmother made for him many years ago. It is a simple 9patch made of polyester knits but Grannie spiced it up by hand embroidering a featherstitch over each seam. It is very, very warm. It seems a bit fragile after years of use so I just admire it now.
