Nonnie's quilt

This week we got TWO packages from my Aunt Judy in Florida. She sent all sorts of good stuff: lots of baby clothes and books for Zoe, a dress and some makeup for me, and a frisbee for Nate (just to name a few). My aunt is wonderful at crocheting and sewing, so she sent Zoe a crocheted pink and white blanket, a cap and booties, and some beautiful potholders for me :)
But the most special gift in the package was a quilt that she made. It’s not just any quilt, it was made with the fabric from some of my grandmother’s (Nonnie) clothes. After she passed away, my mom gave some of her clothes to my Aunt to see if she could make something from them.  And Aunt Judy put together this beautiful quilt.



I just love it because even though Nonnie isn’t here to meet Zoe, we know that she is looking down on her and now Zoe will always have a special piece of her great-grandmother in the quilt.
