    Thank you Fran! All of the stories and fabric pieces sent in from your Subcribers certainly made for enjoyable listening and three great fabric matching challenges for you. Each quilt turned out just right and did honor the memories of those making these quilts. My mother passed away 5 years ago. I know she would have loved to have the Peace and Tranquilty quilt. I was so surprised how you solved this matching issue. What a beauty this quilt will truly be for everyone making it, I just loved the water colour floral fabric and the cherished batik.

    I have to agree with Patti . Fran you show so much empathy when creating matches for the fabric. That Jacobs Latter is very very beautiful 😍. You have a true gift 💝 from the Almighty. God bless your heart ❤️.

    Fran, you show real empathy when creating matches and choosing patterns to suit these very special stories. Seriously, I was moved to tears. Your flip flop for Antonia's fabric was right on point. Hopefully through piecing these quilts together, your viewers can find solace.

      Three touching, and beautiful stories. Perfect choices on patterns, and fabrics Fran. I've made 4 quilts since my mom/quilting teacher passed away a few years ago. Each one has a treasured fabric from her stash. I can hear her encouraging words guiding me along. Thank you Fran!

    The story about the lady's mother really touched me. My mother was legally blind with macular degeneration, and lived with me after my father's passing. She knit and crocheted, while I was always a quilter. A couple years before her death, she wanted to make a crazy quilt, so I collected velvets and satins and sewed them together in crazy quilt layouts. I then collected lace, buttons, sheers (with cobwebs), etc. and she did all the stitching and embellishments using her strongest glasses with a jeweler's loupe attached for even more magnification. She was in and out of the hospital and rehab centers for most of her last year, but she managed to finish 12 blocks a little at a time. I put them together with black sashing and a rich burgundy velvet border and back. I had a label embroidered with her name and the year. I took the finished quilt to her in the nursing home and she had it on her bed for her last two months. Today, it is always close by and the memories of us making the project together are always with me. Thank you for helping others with memory quilts. They are special in ways few people can appreciate because they are made with so much love.

    These are beautiful! And to know the stories is so heartfelt ❤️
    I can so relate to Maria’s story. The quilt is perfect for those of us who loved and lost a precious pet.
    Antonia’s quilt is just beautiful and welcomes comfort.
    Peggy’s quilt is so unique. It brings memories of my grandpa who had a pocket watch as well as cigar boxes!
    Loved this video-love this matchmaker series!❤️

    Hi Fran, do you have any of the purple pansy fabric that is in the tic tac quilt that you showed? I would love to have some of it. I am going to make a quilt in memory of my mother with an assortment of pansy fabrics that I have been collecting and your pansy fabric would fit right in.

    • @FabricCafe
      @FabricCafe  2 роки тому

      Hi Romona! That sounds wonderful. Unfortunately we only carry a few fabrics by the yard and it doesn't look like we have that one in house. We do have that kit version that you could look at, I will link it here - www.fabriccafe.com/Garden-Day-3-Yard-Quilt-Kit-p/8022190.htm
      If that doesn't work for you, I can leave the fabric information and you may be able to find it from your favorite fabric shop - Moda-Violet-Hill-6823-17

    HI Fran, I am going to start my first lap quilt made from Mom's tops, shirts, pants, etc. My Mom passed away August 17, 2021and is missed greatly every day. I want to make lap quilts for my sister and myself in the quilt as you go manner. Can you show options for fabric placement using multiple fabrics? Thank you!

      Hello Carol! I am so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I love your idea of honoring her memory by making quilts for you and your sister. Quilts bring so much comfort. I feel certain that when using your mom’s tops, shirts and pants in a quilt, the quilt will turn out beautiful. It will reflect her taste and personality and blend harmoniously. Hugs! Fran
