The thread that held us together of 4 generations of quilters/seamstresses broke.
My mother put down her thimble.
Her casket was covered with her quilts, a brown feathered star on top and a blue star sampler wrapping the sides. Her art was showcased with one of her paintings and one of her stained glass pieces. So many people didn't know that she was so talented.
I appliqued a wall hanging for her. It was my flowers to her. I worked on it while she was home two weeks with hospice. She got to see it finished.
As we said our final goodbye to her, I laid the small quilt across her bed. It hung with the flowers during the service and now it hangs on my wall as a constant reminder of how blessed I was to have such a wonderful mother.

sending hugs of comfort to you! I have 3 daughters that are also sharing my passion for quilting. I hope to have a picture like the one you have with all four hands on the quilt. Take care, Deb
GOD has indeed Blessed your family, even with the loss of Mother. The memories are FOREVER. Hospice helps to make it possible!
