I’m back and hopeful…

Sorry for your loss. What a wonderful quilt full of memories and a stunning memorial for Connie.

Very well written Carol, you are so brave and have hidden strength as I don’t think I could of written it so soon after my mum passing. So full of memories for you and your loving family and yes Corrie will be so proud of you and sure she is smiling at you. Big hugs to a good friend that P&Q brought together x

What a beautiful blog post, Carol. I’m sorry for your loss too. Very similar thing happened to me with my Mum so I relate to your experience. It’s a beautiful quilt and a lovely name.

Sorry to hear of your loss Carol, we lost Mum 2 weeks ago, and the echos of your post are here too. Your quilt is lovely, and like you, will always be your mums legacy. As for normal service next time, this is normal, we all go through it and you have been wonderfully eloquent in the way you have expressed your feelings xxx

I missed this when it came out, as I was in similar circumstances. But this is the loveliest tribute there could be. A wonderful quilt: a wonderful mum.

Hi Carol., your BOM is just what I was looking for! My mother died in November 2020 during the lockdown so things were especially difficult, made worse that she lives in Cornwall and I’m 260 miles away!
Mum loved her flower garden so I shall be quilting along in her memory.
I note that the link to the fabrics is broken ( its showing the 404 page not available) however I feel sure I will have enough in my stash to do the quilt justice.-
Hi Avril, sorry I have just seen this message. I suppose better late than never and before you finish the quilt.
