This past year I made memory quilts for two teenagers who had recently lost their mother to cancer.
I had a few t-shirts to work with but mostly the quilts were lovingly put together with fabric from their mom’s clothing. Each of these quilts also has a photo of their mom. To put the photo on I used fabric sheets that feed through a printer. The photo of their mom was printed directly onto the fabric. Then I used that fabric as one of the squares.
The gal who ordered these very special quilts wanted the kids to be able to wrap their mom around them during the sad times. That still brings tears to my eyes. I have to say that is very fulfilling to me knowing that I may have a small hand in easing the teens' pain during this devastating time.
