This is my first quilt, but I have been sewing since I was 10. He had always inspired me to get back to my creative side and it is because of him that I also make jewelry. I do a lot of other crafts, but this is the most special item I will ever make in my life. Looking forward to sharing with all of you!!

Welcome from a Virginian born living in Washington. I am sorry to hear about your nephew. But what you are doing for your sister is priceless. I would like to volunteer to quilt your top for you when you are finished piecing it. I just lost my dad on Christmas Eve and then I quilted 82 quilt tops in his honor for American Heros and they helped me tremendously with the grief. So if I can lighted the grief you and your sister feel I would be quite honored.

Thank you,
Sherryl

Welcome from western New York state! I'm sorry to hear about your nephew. I'm glad you will keep his memory alive not only by doing this quilt especially for his mother, but by honoring his wish that you be creative!

p.s. looking forward to seeing the quilt!
