Mom’s Quilt

My mom down sized and moved from an area she had been for more than 30 years to be closer to me.  This was a difficult move.  I wanted her to have something to remind her that she was loved by her friends and family and so I sent out squares to everyone, asking them to write a little note, and sign the square and send it back.  She is the matriarch of our family and I got an amazing amount of responses from people delighted to contribute.  I was happy to see that about 98% of the squares I sent out came back with notes and signatures.  (I had one aunt who was upset because she did not get a square (it was lost in the mail) and so she did hers later and I added it to the back near the label.  It was great laying it out and piecing it, grouping friends and families together.  She gets it out often and enjoys reading the notes and messages from everyone.  (It is amazing to see how much some people can write in a 4” square).  The label sent the message from us all… ”Warm yourself with this quilt and all of the love from your family and friends”
