Memory Quilt

Mom turned 70 March 29th.  Even though she has approached 7 with hesitation, I thought it called for a special gift.  So, I made her a memory quilt to hang on her wall.
I included photos of her as a young girl with her family and a saying about memories.
I included a family photo from when we were quite young and one of us with our kids and just one great grandchild.  Of course I included the great grandchildren--even the newest!
I put Mom's most recent photo on it and one of the last ones of Dad.  I also include the four generation photo that includes me!
Of course I put their wedding photo on it.
I couldn't forget my grandparents, and of course the three sisters on one of their yearly trips home.
I embellished it a little with some trim and flowers.  That isn't really my taste, but I know Mom enjoys it. I will give it to her when we go to Texas.  I certainly hope she like it!!
