Do you have any photos of the quilt you saw. I would love to see them if you do!
Unfortunately - I didn't have my camera with me, but it was a beautiful quilt that included many embroidered memories and symbols of the wedding and marriage. I have also thought about making christening gowns for future grandchildren and/or a ring pillow for my son's upcoming wedding.
