So, on Thanskgiving afternoon, I was minding my own business when my Meme (my Mom's mom) came in and said she had something to show us. We all went in the bedroom and she had laid out this quilt on the bed. After several minutes of ooing and ahing, she handed me a note stating that she had started working on this quilt in 199? (she thinks it was about 18 years ago) because she wanted me to learn U.S. geography. She has been working on it ever since. It is an incredible gift! She spent 18 years on this thing! Wow! She did it all by hand and it is incredible. Each square has a different state: the outline of the state, the state bird and the state flower. And there are buttons for the state capitols which all came out of my great-grandmothers' button boxes.
Needless to say, I have a new treasure. It's going to be the first think I grab if there's ever a fire, that's for sure! Thanks, Meme for the amazing gift!
