Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 LOL.. Yes nne, I did volunteer... I figure if she tells me what colors she'd like it in, and I start working on it now, that by the time she "gets" in the extended family way, and then gets through the 9 months, it should pretty well be completed by then... I'd never dream of doing what you're doing as a project.. if they counted on me.. they'd be popscicles.. But I think that I can get through just one more baby blanket.. The last one I finished.. ended up being a full size afghan.. using afghan stitch.. it was for my youngest.. bout 10 years ago.. He kept whining that I never made him a baby blanket of his very own.. but I made them for everyone else... So I made him one.. for the size baby he was then.. LOL... hey.. I won first prize at the local fair with it.. It was original.. LOL |}onna How > is everyone?> > > > I'm doing okay > here.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Challis, That would be fabulous!!!.. I've heard of saving pieces of clothing that had some significance to someone, and turning those into a quilt.. I always wanted to give that a try, and my mom had one of those old quilting frames in the attic.. I just never got around to it.. Probably wouldn't have finished it in the first place.. and in the second place I cannot for the life of me, sew a uniform stitch of any kind... LOL.. that's why I always liked plastic canvas or counted cross stitch.. I can make those look like I know how to sew.. LOL |}onna How > is everyone?> > > > I'm doing okay > here.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I've saved old clothing so long, thinking of doing something like that, that I think most of my shed is taken up by old clothes. "Some day". LOLOL The same friend of my Mom's who made the quilt for , makes very special teddy bears. When someone passes, she gets items of clothing that belonged to that person and makes a teddy bear from it. I like that idea. Challis |}onna wrote: Challis, That would be fabulous!!!..

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I like that idea too.. actually, I LOVE that idea... During the first few months, at the very least that would be a fantastic item to hold.. I know that the simple coin that I wore around my neck was a comfort to be wearing.. when the grief tried to become overwhelming, I could reach up and hold my part of the coin.. and somehow it helped comfort me.. Having a Teddy Bear to hold tight would have been even better is my thinking.. and if it didn't get too beaten up in the grieving period.. even if it did.. it would still continue to be a source of a smile everytime you'd see it... She might have an idea.. Not sure what the funeral traditions are in your area.. but I know that puts forget-me-not seed embedded hearts on each of the memorial cards.. Earl planted his a week or so after, maybe immediately after the funeral.. took a little while, but Bill called to tell me that they bloomed.. very late in the year.. but they bloomed.. next to the porch.. and they had a bittersweet reminder every day... Don't know how long it would take her to put together a Teddy Bear for a family member.. maybe just the mother or the wife... do you see where I'm going with this one???? Hey...even the self-employed pay into Social Security.. and those would be credits going in.. and a sense of what's the word... for doing something to ease someone else's pain even just a bit... |}onna How > is everyone?> > > > I'm doing okay > here.

Having a Teddy Bear to hold tight would have been even better is my thinking.. and if it didn't get too beaten up in the grieving period.. even if it did.. it would still continue to be a source of a smile everytime you'd see it... She might have an idea.. Not sure what the funeral traditions are in your area.. but I know that puts forget-me-not seed embedded hearts on each of the memorial cards.. Earl planted his a week or so after, maybe immediately after the funeral.. took a little while, but Bill called to tell me that they bloomed.. very late in the year.. but they bloomed.. next to the porch.. and they had a bittersweet reminder every day... Don't know how long it would take her to put together a Teddy Bear for a family member.. maybe just the mother or the wife... do you see where I'm going with this one???? Hey...even the self-employed pay into Social Security.. and those would be credits going in.. and a sense of what's the word... for doing something to ease someone else's pain even just a bit... |}onna How > is everyone?> > > > I'm doing okay > here.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yes, and my friend who makes those Teddy Bears made one for her first great-grandchild. She used flannel from one of her deceased husband's shirts. That way the great-grandchild, who will never know her great-grandfather, has something of his. I think that is so sweet but I don't know how she can do that. It seems like it would be way too emotional for her.Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.
