Mary's Legacy Quilt

Quilt by Katie Weaver
From Theresa B: My mother, Katie's grandmother, had cancer for 4-1/2 years. Mom's love in this world was her family. When we no longer knew what to do we decided to make a quilt with a picture of every member of her family, living and passed, to wrap around her at her lowest point.

Katie gathered pictures of family past and present, and conformed them to fit the chosen fabric size. It took days. My sister sewed all the pieces together in one day. Surrounded by everyone, we presented it to Mom. She left us a week later. Now my father finds comfort in the quilt, Mary's Legacy.
