Update on Quilted Memories

quilt filled with mem’ries,

remnants of my loved one’s shirts

artistic stitch’ry

This quilt was made by a cousin

of middle son's wife.

The only contributions I made

were hubby's shirts and the request 

of medium blue.

I hope you noted husband's 

patch on the left identifying that he was

a correctional officer, 

the pocket from his uniform jacket

and the heart.

I was told yesterday that JoAnn

has completed the quilt

and will be mailing it out Monday.

Color me ecstatic!

Here's an update on my memory quilt:

>On one quilt corner JoAnn put a

pocket from my husband's jacket.

And today, I remembered that I had

the pins that my husband wore 

on his uniform jacket.

Thankfully, I kept them in a dresser drawer 

with easy access to them.

>On another corner, she put 

the Indiana Department of Corrections patch.

>On the reverse side of the quilt, 
at the pocket corner,
is this pocket from another shirt.

>Plus I wanted to share how the quilt 

looks on my bed.

I get a warm feeling every time

I walk into or through my bedroom.

Again, thank you, JoAnn,

for making this heirloom.
