Another precious treasure made from the hands of my dear mother. There was no end to her thoughtfulness and creations for those she loved.
This colorful log cabin quilt was gifted to me by her almost thirty years ago, just a few years before her death in 1982. As you can imagine, it became very dear to me and has been used and loved through these many years.
Several years ago I had to fold it gently and tuck it away, for I had loved it down to many bare threads, until I was afraid that there would be nothing left of it with continued use.

I am not familiar with quilting, but hope, someday, to find a source to bring this special gift new life once again.

what a great treasure.
Oh Colleen, quite the treasured masterpiece!!
To me, those are the kinds of things that I do ponder....hmmm, to use or not use! But, I've gotten much better about that kind of thing and try to live in the moment instead of "saving things for another time. Your Mom would have wanted you to use it and enjoy it to the fullest.
It is a beauty. I LOVE her choices of fabric. Different patterns, but all SMALL prints.....I absolutely love the way that looks together!!
