It has taken a while to come to completion but it's been worth the wait. After Cheryl passed Gladys thought it would be nice if we had a quilt made with some patches from some of her old t-shirts, uniforms, etc. It would be a piece of her that we would always have. We had lined someone up to make the quilt but after waiting a long time she decided that she wouldn't be able to complete it. Again it was a long time before we were able to locate someone who would attempt to do it when she got time.
Earlier this year Diana and her friend began the task of putting the quilt together. Over a period of time both ladies did a fantastic job stitching together many little pieces of Cheryl's life to make Gladys's idea come to fruition. The resulting quilt includes many pieces such as her volleyball team shirt, high school, favorite hockey player Wayne Gretzky, law school, law firm, brands, tv shows, etc.
I've included a photo of each little square section of the quilt in the photos below along with a little description. Each square was about 21" by 21".
Many of you will be able to relate to a square to 2. Feel free to drop by anytime to check it out.
