    What a wonderful thing you have done. They are beautiful and the memories will last forever. My Mom ( grandmother) wore those starched house dresses. I miss her terribly. I kept her kitchen curtains and pieces have ended up in several of my quilts!

    Those are so precious. I know they will be treasured. I'll bet the lady that asked you will chose the one made to look like dresses. I think the tumbler looks like a man's quilt but opinions vary

    This makes me want to get the shirts out that I purchased to make scrap quilts. I love the quilts you made, but the dresses out of dresses made me smile.
