My daughter-in-law's best friend's sister was killed in an airplane accident this summer in Hawaii. I didn't know her but I know her sister. It's been a hard loss for the family so when Michelle asked me to sew a quilt from her sister's clothes for her mother, I knew how meaningful it would be for the family. I was able to finish it in time for what would have been Lexis' 33rd birthday.
It's very free spirited as I am told was Lexis. The quote used on the label was from quotes she had saved on her phone.
It's tough sewing these quilts but it's a much appreciated treasure for the families. In most cases, the clothes are the last tangible item the family has from the deceased family member.
Rest in Peace Lexis.
What a wonderful quote. That she would save it tells something of the kind of person she was. The quilt is beautiful and meaningful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad, tragic loss. This beautiful quilt is sure to be a treasured heirloom for many, many years.
