If I must say something about myself then . . . . it must be the comforters that I make.
After the passing of our eldest son in 2008 I made the first one. A sort of memory ... or perhaps it started as something to keep my going.
Now years later I still make them.
Every one tells a story of our family. It is a part of us.
These quilts also tell about our road trips because no trip is without stopping somewhere to purchase a piece of cloth or old lace
Every one tells a story of our family. It is a part of us.

| Worn jean, red heart made from a little chair that was re-upholstered. |
To create one is a "battle" . . . I cut perfect and not so perfect pieces in the
30cm blocks and then when there is 72 blocks the process can begin.

| Antique lace from my granny's treasures |
 |
| Some charm from the Graphic Fairy |
 |
| Lots of hand sewing |
 |
| The batting at the back is now in place and a second cover is stitch in place. |
Thank you for visiting
Till next time

I am so sorry to hear about your eldest son! I can only imagine the heartache you have had to deal with since his passing. I love the way in which you felt drawn to create something unique and lasting from material that carries memories of him and I loved seeing this latest comforter you are making and hearing some of its story, too. What a wonderful hobby!
