Quilt

I mentioned a few years ago that Luke's mom was going to make a quilt for us out of some of Nathan's clothes.  I just searched the blog for a previous mention and found this post.  I was surprised to learn (I won't say remember) that it was a full year until we did all of that cleaning out of the room.  It is a bit of a painful post to read.

It took another year to actually bring the clothes to Illinois and go through them and make decisions about them.  I think it took many months after that for Kathy to get to the point where she could face making it.  It was also technically difficult for her because she normally hand quilts and the materials in this quilt caused to her to need to machine quilt instead.  She has made the kids and us many beautiful quilts over the years, all hand stitched.  I will have to post those sometime!

All that to say that this summer, Kathy finished the quilt and gave it to us.

I borrowed a picture from her to post here.  The quilt is currently folded on top of the cedar chest in our living room where we store Nathan's things.  I am not sure of its ultimate home.

Thank you again, Kathy - it is better than I could have imagined.
