"Thank you".....the Mother and Daughters Quilt Ministry Way

The last four years of our Mom's life were spent sewing quilt blocks most days, resulting is boxes of completed blocks yet to be finished into quilts.  It will take years to finish the quilts Mom started, which is a good thing.  With the sewing of each quilt, memories will be shared, resulting in laughter, and probably some tears.  So it only seemed appropriate for the family to use some of these quilt blocks to say "Thank you" instead of just preparing thank-you notes to mail out.

We took some of the quilt blocks made from the bright jewel tone fabrics that Mom really enjoyed working with and made them into hot pads.

 Mom used up yards and yards of these different bright fabrics.  Yellow was her favorite one, and her favorite color.  I think it reminded her of sunshine, and that seemed to make her happy.

Our family has been called "not normal", but that's okay; we are a bit quirky.  The most important thing is we love each other.  We will move forward into the "new normal" that awaits us, remembering and reliving memories of Mom, who started this whole family along with our Dad.
