Sharing Love with Quilting

Bree's Aunt Kristi left behind 2 children. Courtney age 12 and Carson age 8. I wanted to do something for them, but I didn't know what to do for them. They are such strong kids.

So I thought. I thought about Bree and her experience with losing her mom at the age of 13. I thought about what people gave her during that trying time in her life. I then remembered that the young women from Bree's ward made her a quilt. She stills holds that quilt dear to her.

I thought of what that quilt symbolized to Bree. I know that the quilts I make for others have brought smiles to there faces and joy to their hearts. After thinking for awhile I realized they can be more.

So I made each of the kids a quilt. I wanted them to be able to have something to comfort them in times of sorrow and grief. You know when you were little and you would bundle up in a blanket or hide under the covers, it made you feel a little better, a little safer, and you felt a little more loved.

Love comes in a sorts of ways. I wanted these quilts to provide love for Courtney and Carson. Here are the pictures of the quilts I made for them.





My hope is that the quilts I made for Courtney and Carson will bring the same comfort and love that Bree's quilt has given to her.

In Loving Memory- Kristi

A lot of people that Know me, know how close I am to my cousin Bree. She and I are more like sister actually, and because of this I am close to her father's side as well. Bree's Aunt Kristi past away Tuesday 1/13/09 after fighting cancer for over 7 years. Here is the link to here obituary: http://www.meaningfulfunerals.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=315792&fh_id=10812&s_id=C5BF681AF1DB70502B5D8F2BDA6AC76D .

My heart goes out to all of the people that Kristi's life touched. She was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to all that knew her.

Bree is so strong and I am so proud of her for being there for her cousins that just lost there mother (Courtney 12, and Carson 8). Bree you are an excellent example and friend, I love you so much and want you to know that I am always here for you and your family.

So this quilt is kinda my pride and joy right now. I had a request for me to make a quilt with Mario and Luigi throwing fireballs at Bowser.

Here are two quilts that I finished last month. The top one was made as a baby gift for a friend of mine. The bottom one was the first quilt I actually made for an order and received payment for!

I love to sew and I am going to be posting more quilts here too. Hopefully I will have everything lined up soon here so officially start my business.

Enjoy the pics.
