My sister passed away last October and I have been hoarding her clothes and my 4-year-old niece's clothes to make a memory quilt for her but this is a fantastic project we could do together. Just her summer clothes and Mommy's summer clothes, too. Now all I need to do is learn how to sew. Thanks again for such a great post.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16263307100566030404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-36834613291201801062007-06-30T21:08:00.000-04:002007-06-30T21:08:00.000-04:00What a fantastic remembrance bag!!!!
