Tuesday Treasures
My friend Heather is doing a Tuesday Treasure post. I enjoyed reading her treasure of the day and thought I would do it too. I have so many treasures that I will have to do a lot of Tuesday Treasure Posts.Today I am choosing a quilt my mother made. So many hours of hand stitching went into it. Each time I look at it I think of mother and how I never saw her that she didn't have sewing in her hands, right up till the last few weeks. She sewed all the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, her sisters , brothers, nieces and nephews quilts. Even though I don't need material things to remind me of mother, I am so happy and proud to have this quilt that represents what a special wonderful and caring lady she was. The presidents head look painted on but everything is hand stitched. Nothing is drawn or painted but she sure used alot of black thread!
