tootsquilts 293 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I thought I would post a couple of quilts that my wonderful sister made before she passed away in October 2014. She had wanted to give these to her grandchildren, but was unable to. These were very emotional for me to get done. Hope you can see the pictures ok. I don't have a good way to photo them.

Cagey 770 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I am sure that her grandchildren will love and cherish them for many years to come. Her memory and your love for both her and your nieces and nephews will live on and on. Thank you for sharing them with us. I hope and pray that you thought about all the wonderful times the two of you as sisters enjoyed over the years. While painful, I am sure finishing the quilts brought pleasure to you.

RitaR 647 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 The death of a loved one always will hurt. It just gets easier, and I think you found a way to make the memories, etc., a bit easier. I love the quilts, each for it's own reasons, but mostly for your choice of quilting designs. Great Job! God's blessing you for your dedication and love, tootsquilts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
