Special Wish

This is a very special wish from my Aunt Norma and Uncle Paul in St. Louis, MO. The asian fabric is from a dress that my Grandmother made and wore years ago. She has since passed away but I feel like this is her contribution to my quilt. She was very crafty and cool. Grandma C made many clothes, quilts, pillows...you name it. I think she would be so excited to know I am putting this quilt together. Thanks Aunt Norma for sharing this with me!

What a gift, Mariah!! I love that this fabric was from your grandmothers collection. My grandmother sent me a piece that she used for a special dress for herself as well. For our quilt.

It is just so special when the family/friend pieces come rolling in, isn't it?? XO

Wow, what special fabric to include in Sloan's quilt! You are so fortunate that your Grandmother's dress was saved.
