mom made me a quilt for my 21st birthday. |
 |
she had collected fabric from my life. 1969 nursery... |
 |
when i was 16 a sweet american boy invited me to his prom in delaware. i flew from thunder bay to toronto to philadelphia and had a fairytale of a time. we bought this dress for that trip and wore it to a dinner...(not the prom) thanks for a great memory chris... |
 |
mom was a very thoughtful, crafty lady... always busy making something for someone. if i remember right, this fabric had been used to make an apron or oven mitts... most likely a gift to give. |
 |
1986ish... my little brother went through his preppy stage. button down shirt. look familiar greg? |
 |
grade 13 graduation. there was a lot of floral going on. i can vividly recall finding this fabric and knowing that no one else would have it. my grandma made my dress... i loved that dress. |
 |
this fabric is kind of classic mom. i think it was a sundress of hers. she really enjoyed her calico... |
 |
...one of dad's shirts... his work shirts were white, but this was clearly chosen to add a pop of colour. (i think she actually said that) |
 |
...a bedspread she made me... late 70's. i loved holly hobby. |
 |
i can't tell you what this quilt means to me now... each square makes me smile. i remember. thanks mom.... for making so many of my days special. |
