Meesha's Quilt
After Mama died, Tammy, my sister-in-law, and Meesha, my niece, and I, were over at Mama's cleaning and packing up stuff in her basement. We came to this wardrobe that my mama's daddy had made full of old quilts. We were all picking one out that might mean something to us, or that would look good in our house. Meesha couldn't seem to find the right one, especially after she learned that her Gongi hadn't actually made them, but had bought them on one of her enfamous "junking" trips to sell in her booth in Pine Mountain, or wherever she was peddling her wares in her many years of business!! Anyway, when Meesha decided that she did not really want one of those quilts, I made a promise to her that I would make her one, since I had just recently made one for another one of my nieces. So, her request was that she would like a pink one. So, Meesha, this one's for you sweetie!! I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it for you. It was part of my therapy in the grieving process over the loss of my mama and my daddy!
Your quilt was the very first quilt I quilted on my new longarm sewing machine. I was so excited when I made those little hearts and loops, I had to stop and take a picture of them!!
This is the finished product! I am giving it to her tomorrow!! I so hope she likes it and will keep it to give to her granddaughter one day!! I think she's finished having babies. She has three very active boys!!! (That is probably why she wanted a pink quilt!!)
