    I use to have my memory quilt as my avatar. I recently replaced it with a grasshopper :wink:
    Many asked about my quilt and I realized I didn't have any "good " pics of it, so today when I was at my parents I got some :thumbup:

    I made this for my parents , Christmas 2007 after my brother passed away from Cancer November 16,2007. There had seen one like this and mentioned how nice it was, so my work was cut out for me :lol: After my Bother passed away my Mom for a poem about Dragon flies and it meant a lot to her , that poem is on the quilt

    The whole quilt

    The poem

    Great quilt Sharon. You have quite a large family! Lost my only sibling (brother) to cancer in 2006.
