I love working on projects!
Especially when they have a purpose or meaning.
Right now I am working on a project for my mom.
Several years ago she quilted a Hawaiian Quilt and said that she would like to do one for herself one day. Russell and Christy purchased an appliqued quilt top from a lady in HI and when it got here it wasn't finished it was only basted on. Mom has asked different people over the years to applique it but no one would or could.
I have been trying to get down to Levan to visit with her more. I try to take something to work on while we visit and and helped her get a few little quilts put together to do on her lap, but she isn't truly happy without those frames set up.
Durring my visits the subject of this quilt always came up, and to tell you the truth it looks quite intimidating, but I could tell that it bothered her not having it done. So, I took of the challenge, It's not as hard as I thought it would be, and my goal is to have it finished by fall so she can quilt it.
My most favorite project So far has been for my sister.
Patty called me not long after Erica had passed away, and asked me to help her with a secret mission. I would make Teddy Bears out of Erica's Pajama pants. I was honored to be doing this, and let me tell you there were a lot of tears shed while I sewed and stuffed.
The day of Unvailing had arrived Sunday, May 2nd 2005 Erica' Birthday Five years ago today to be exact. I was so excited to let everyone in on the surprise, and also to see Patty's face when she saw the finished product. She hadn't seen the pants since I took them from her house three months earlier. I think she liked them, and I think the girls were also surprised. I think Alisha said she had been looking for a pair to wear but couldn't find them.
But before I boxed them up, I sat all 24 of them together and took their picture.

I remember this day like it was yesterday!
I miss Erica so much, oh I love that special girl.
But, I do get to have glimpse of her quite often because Charley-Anne looks a lot like her and she also has the same sound in her voice and laugh. I think anyway.
