The memory quilt that began as a workshop project sponsored
by the quilt club in March is complete.
It is best viewed up close because many of the pieces are smaller than a
dime. After ferreting through little
boxes that had been shoved to the back of dresser drawers for years, I ended
up with memorabilia from three generations on my father’s side of the family. Some of them were vintage crochet
pieces. Others were little pieces of
jewelry including some 50-year recognition pins belonging to my father and
grandmother.
I tried to document on the label who was represented in this piece,
hopefully making it a little more meaningful someday to our daughter. After taking it to “show and share” time at
the quilt club next week, it will hang in our house.

It will look wonderful displayed in your home.
Ah, yes, the lovely old linens and bits and pieces of family Memory--you've revived them well and kept Memory going.
