Quilted Jacket

My grandmother was a huge influence on who I am and made every single one of her grandchildren a quilted blanket before she passed from Alzheimer’s. Sadly, I was not able to make the time until this past year to finally make space for it and step up to the challenge of taking on that family practice. This is my very first piece and learned a ton, so it was incredibly fun to make. This one will be going to my aunt who was the primary caretaker for my grandmother while I was deployed overseas. I’ll be posted tips and insights that I gained later after finishing up some other work. It’s one thing to watch someone make something and appreciate it, but a whole other level to try and actually do it, make mistakes, and get frustrated to really appreciate how much love and effort goes into these projects.
