Aunty Cathy's Quilt


Finally, here are the pictures. Sorry it took so long ( Mom's fault).

This is a quilt that my Mom and her friend Sally made for my Aunt Cathy. Aunt Cathy's husband James passed away a few months ago and this quilt is made out of his clothes and also pictures and cards that were made into fabric squares. The back is green with lady bugs. It turned out so well.




James and Aunt Cathy were married just over 7 years (I think, but don't quote me on it) and he was an awesome man. I never spent much time with him since they lived across the country from us, but he made quite an impression on me. They were both such a wonderful example of what a marriage should be, and how a husband and wife should treat each other. They were so kind and patient and loving with each other--ALWAYS. They appreciated each other and always put the others needs ahead of their own. I am so grateful that they found each other and were able to have those years together. He truly was a good man and I am happy that he was able to be a part of our family. He is greatly missed and will always be remembered.

Hopefully the quilt brings a little peace and comfort to you Aunt Cathy. We love you so very much!

Great tribute to her and the hard times that she is going through. I wish I could say it is just going to get easier for her, but I think over time it will but it will always be there.
