Some "TLC"

This Quilt Needed Some Tender Loving Care

 

Karen (a friend) and her mother made this quilt in the 70's. A few years later her mother had passed away. Karen treasured the memories of her and her mother making this quilt together. 


Over the years this quilt has been loved by Karen's children as well.
And she wanted to somehow preserve it. 


  This came to me worn thin, spots, tied (not quilted)
 and also needed  new backing.

It now has new batting, backing and is heavily
quilted with feathers.


So... no matter how many Love Stains, Love Tears and Love Memories
a quilt has seen, it always brings
Love To Our Hearts!

Till We Quilt Again,
Helen
