Hi, wanted to share with you a wedding quilt I
made for my daughter. It kept me busy so I was
missing for a while. The quilt are made from mostly
old linen, bed sheets, table runners from my mother
in law. Thanks for looking, Mary

Your quilt is so lovely, it brought back memories of the one I did for my DIL, I made mine from lace I had collected over time, fabric from her wedding gown and the fabric from the bridesmaids,
This is a real labour of love Mary and will be cherished throughout the generations to come. Well done it looks beautiful and no doubt your daughter will use it often. Love Chris
