My Dad has a quilt he got from his own mother more than 50 years ago. It’s beautiful with pink trim around squares that feature embroidered flowers. I fell in love with it as a child and still yearn for the sense of family and comfort I have when it’s wrapped around me.
Christian reminded me of the feeling I got from my own grandmother’s quilt through a post about his button quilt. When she gave it to Christian and Vince, his grandmother said,
This quilt is a gift to you both, So happy you found the love of your life. This quilt will always by me love to you both. This quilt was sewed with material from Grandma Reagan, buttons Aunt Vicky had a few of, and material your mom bought. I sewed them buttons each day until it was done. Your mom helped sew, too.
I have very little sewing talent, so instead of making that kind of legacy I’m working on another project for my daughters to give them this Christmas. I can’t wait to share it!
