“Look, mom!” She said, “I want you to make me a quilt to take to college!”
Making that quilt filled me with so much pride. I doted upon each square, and each one helped me remember my daughter at different ages as I watched her participate and play with friends. This quilt was a way for her to feel close to home, even as she was heading off into the world.
Morgan has since graduated college, but you’ll still find me staying up late sewing. Each quilt I make is handled with the same care I gave to Morgan’s first t-shirt quilt. I like taking care of people’s memories – preserving them and creating a keepsake that is as functional as it is beautiful.
