For my grandchildren, I have learned to quilt. Each one of you will receive a quilt that I have made. For you, to receive a legacy of who I am and what you mean to me. The quilt has taught me to be disciplined, to learn something new and personlize it. Have the determination to acheivce better and see it through. Each quilt is designed uniquely to you. Every piece of material selected, measured, cut, pressed, measured again, sewn and quilted. These are also life's principles you must learn I didn't realized until I finished my first quilt how much a quilt and life corralates with each other.
A quilt is a legacy not only of who I am, but messages for you. Each piece of cloth is measured more than onece, but cut only once. Don't follow, when it's wrong. Be a leader, do what is right. Your quilt is made with blood, sweat and tears (DNA). Cuts on the fingers, pain of arthritis, tears of the several re-dos to make it right. The message of love lasts longer that the pain I endured. I wanted to make sure the messages would help you throughout your life. Wrap the quilt around you and know my loving arms are wrapped around you forever.
Your quilt will fade and become worn, as will you. By then, I will be gone, but your quilt will remind you of your youth when your grandmother loved you enough to learn and make a unique quilt for you.
