So....7 years ago when I made Kara a quilt that the whole family help tie together, I failed to consider that the other kids may want a college comforter from mom. ( can't find a picture of my first college comforter but here are the other 2.
Natalie leaves for college in 6 days and I just started her quilt today.
My big last labor of love for each kid has been their college comforter. I take the kids shopping to choose their material, I put it together (which takes a bit of sewing to start), then put on quilt frames Jim made for me (ions ago), and then we all tie it. I will post more about quilt making in a bit...stay tuned...if ya want...it's a sweet memory I have of my great grandma Wetzel. We make memories, as we share memories. It's how we find joy in the adventure of life.
