My Mom's Quilt of Memories

I am excited to be participating in an Online Quilt Show hosted by my friend Sharon's blog Hobbies on a Budget.  This is the story of a quilt I made my mom several years ago.

You can't see the pictures as well anymore, they have faded over time, but I am sure it is still serving its purpose.  It was a memory quilt. My parents, you see are missionaries and have been for the last fifteen years.
Needless to say, we do not see them often enough. Grandkids grow up and we all get older. Time passes and we cherish the memories of the times we do have together. So, I had this idea one Christmas that I wanted to make my mom a quilt with family pictures. It is more like a wall hanging. She could have the pictures right there and enjoy them as she reminisced the times we've had together. I included all my siblings and their children. I had quite forgotten about having made it, til this quilt show was mentioned.

I have attempted to make various other quilts over the years, but have not successfully completed very many of them. My youngest daughter is now expressing a desire to learn to sew, so hopefully she and I will accomplish one or two, or maybe just finish some that I have started.  I love the pattern on this one and especially the border. Does anyone know what this pattern is called? I cannot remember since it has been so long ago.

Congratulations to our Winner - Lynne In  Night Night , Farm by Amy Parker, parents and little ones will unwind as sweet farm animals in pj's say goodnight to their farm, their mommies and daddies, and to God. Rhyming verse, calming artwork, and whimsical renditions of favorite farm animals in their cozy beds will make this bedtime book a favorite for years to come. My Thoughts: This book is so adorable. I am already loving that one day I will be able to use it with my grandchildren. It is a hard back padded type cover. The pages are board book style with beautiful illustrations, brightly colored and full of the most adorable farm animals you've ever seen. They will capture your heart, as well as you child's.  Each page consists of a different animal going to sleep, written in poetic style with the animal sound and name of the animal at then end of each prose. The last page affirms how God made all these animals and "me too"! The child will learn about

My Body's Mine by Kayla Marnach

My Body's Mine helps children learn they have the rights to their body. Told through rhyme from a child's point of view this book on boundaries empowers each child to say no when others approach them in ways that make them uncomfortable. It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provides an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion to prevent abuse or to further explore if abuse has occurred.
