A Quilter Remembered…

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this mornings post…I got word yesterday that The Hand Quilting group lost a wonderful  quilting friend…Carol.

It’s always a shock when someone you know passes away…and Carol did have a lot of health issues but still it’s a shock and a terrible loss for our little quilting community. 

Carol loved quilting but I think she loved her ‘gal time’ more…she loved a good gab, loved a good book,  loved a good joke and like us all..loved all the goodies served at tea time!  But I think what I LOVED best about Carol was her ability to not mince words and to tell it like it was!  She was frank and open and honest! 

Here she is at our GO! Party… Carol is in pink reaching for more fabric.

Carol loved her Grand Kids and was teaching her grand-daughter, Brianna how to sew.  What a legacy to give to a child..the love of sewing!  You can bet that her grand-daughter will remember her Grandma lovingly whenever she picks up a needle and thread. 

So today’s post is to Carol and to all grandmas/mothers out there teaching their children how to sew..remember you are teaching  them much more than how to stitch.  You are passing on your love and traditions of sewing/quilting and giving them memories that they will cherish forever!

Farewell Carol…you’re going to be missed!

Have a wonderful Wednesday and Happy Quilting!
