RenaM Welcome Home Jeremy - Wonderful sewing friends surprised me with several completed blocks and quilt pattern (thanks kmouse) for a quilt to be completed to Welcome Home my son after completing his duty in Iraq. My sister, niece & I made additional blocks using many of my mom's fabrics (mom had passed away leaving a wonderful fabric stash)- I then had family and friends sign blocks with their names and sentiments welcoming Jeremy back home. I presented this quilt (along with 2 blocks made into pillows) to Jeremy upon his return to Springfield after 14 months away at a surprise pool party. He was thrilled, surprised and enjoyed reading the sentiments expressed knowing the love of those who contributed to the quilt. And Grandma was surely looking down from above at a new quilt created from part of her stash.
