Sharon Elling Quilt Testimonial

 As a farm housewife, English teacher, and drama coach, I have been trying to climb on top of the clutter in my house ever since Thanksgiving.  Some of the clutter I find all over the house is sentimental items I just can't part with, but know I should--my baby's preemie booties (a package decoration he actually wore!), in my sewing machine drawer, for instance!  And my baby is now 34 years old!  Last week, my son's mother-in-law showed me a memory quilt she has made with bits of  our shared grandson's clothes, booties, bibs and so forth.  It is so neat, and my daughter-in-law has a keepsake without clutter.  Fingering the fabric and appliques of her son's former onesies, booties, and caps, she uses the quilt keepsake as a lap quilt.  It is so touching to see the love in her eyes.  Now, I would never sew anything like that, but I am gathering up a huge box of  sentimental clutter (clothes, patches--remember when they were popular twenty plus years ago) that I've been keeping for years and am sending it away to you for a memory quilt!  Love what I see on your site.   Can't wait to get my quilt.  Sharon PS:  I am even thinking of having all the t-shirts I have collected from the high school shows I've directed made into a quilt keepsake.
