I show you this in case you also want to make a momento for a loved one...
This 11" X 12" fabric card was made to comfort her in loss.
I used two of her images from her blog printed onto fabric to piece into the little quilt.
It is made onto peltex instead of batting.
The three hearts stand for Mary, her husband and son. I wrote on the card with a fabric marker
Fetcher was a very social cat, visited school children and neighbors. There is a story here for sure. The cat who visited everyone.
The dragon at the bottom, Spikey also passed away this year, and they were good friends.
I stitched on some loose yarn, to represent play time, and used metallic gold to quilt and zig-zag the edge treatment. I also couched down some coral colored yarn to accent the center image and bottom statement.
If you click on the next image, you might be able to see the little gold heart stitched in thread on his chest. He gave his family lots of love.
Loss is so hard, and the only thing that helps is "tincture of time" as my old vet used to say.
