This card is especially meaningful to me because one of the background fabric pieces I used came from a box that was lovingly assembled by my grandma. She was a quilter and had several boxes of patterned and solid fabric arranged by color and often cut into quilt block triangles and squares; just waiting for her talented hands. That means a lot to me. Creativity, after all, is not an isolated gift-- it's something that can tie us to our past and can keep us connected to those we love the very most. Whenever I incorporate my grandma or mother's fabric or lace, I feel closer to them and have a deep gratitude for the bond we share as we try, throughout our lives, to make things more beautiful.
