Memories and Quilts!

Phone cameras have certainly improved over the 15 years since this photo was taken.

We were living in Wallburg, NC. Jason was living in Columbia SC and working at Olive Garden.

I was on my way down to Charleston and had stopped at his work for a rest break, a beverage, a quick visit.

These are the kinds of things I’m finding as I scroll all the way down my Facebook memories. What a blessing it is to have those there, changing daily, always something to rediscover and remember.

Son Jeff was also with me on this trip – I think this is likely the last photos I have of them both with shorter hair and zero beards.

Family. Sons. Brothers.

And day by day we are holding it together as we get closer to Jason’s surgery date.

This is happening:

Backing for my Brookgreen quilt!

I purchased this on my first visit to Paris. It’s been in the stash for something like 13 years. It’s a bit heavier than quilting cotton weight, but it is 100% cotton. Not quite home-dec weight, but somewhere in between.

And yes, I know string quilts are heavy – there is often as much fabric in the seam allowances as is showing on the front – but wow. This is fabulous!
