    Default Finished My Foster Daughters Memory Quilt

    Well I final finsihed my xfoster daughters memory quilt. When she came to live with us after her Dad passed I told her I'd make her a quilt to remember him by. We collected several pairs of his jeans and seveal of his fishing shirts before all his stuff was destoryed.
    She didn't stay with us she wanted to be eleswhere too many rules. But I still had her Dads things. So heres the finished product which I'll take to her tommorrow.

    I'm a foster mom too....such a rewarding/challenging job at the same time. This blanket will truly make awesome memories for her. Such a sweet & kind thing you have done for this little girl. I'm sure she will LOVE it!
