Write a letter or poem to or about a loved one who passed away and share how they inspire you 11 months, 3 weeks ago quilt
Natalie CroftWith each stitch and square
Each row and thumb prick
Your story has been toldEach quilt is a story you share
The battles you’ve survived
And the last battle you lostA smile like yours is rare
Each day im starting to believe you’re truly gone
Everyday my heart breaks a little moreWatching the life you’ve made disappear
It hurts to know you’re goneIt hurts to know I won’t ever see that smile again
That I won’t ever hear that laugh again
That I won’t feel your touch again
That I won’t ever smell that old grandma smell
That I wont ever taste your sweet ice coffeeBut each each stitch I make in my quilt is how I tell your story
It’s how I can tell our storyVoting is closed
Natalie, what a special memory you share with your grandmother. Not many people know how to quilt anymore, and the fact that you learned the skill from your grandmother makes it even more meaningful. I’m sure that she would be proud to know that you are carrying on with what she taught you. Thank you for sharing!

Awww the quilt is so beautiful. There is a story on the site about a jewelry designer (Tiffany Kay) who lost her Dad. She creates jewelry based on the stitches from knitting because that’s what helped her cope with the loss. Her story reminds me a little of your. Sending hugs. xo Lauren
