Covered in LOVE! A family tradition!

 Mom, Jack, Aunt Erma (with the quilt she made for Baby Jeremy), Jonas & Jeremy!(also notice the Cards clothes she also gifted the boys:) Summer 2007

 Aunt Erma and Jack at Jeana's wedding in Merced in 2007!

 My mom's older sister, my dear sweet & lovely Aunt Erma made this quilt for my mom. Aunt Erma planned to give this quilt to Mom on her trip home to Illinois 2 weeks ago but of course those plans changed so Aunt Erma mailed it out here to my house! I am not sure that there has ever been a more priceless gift.  The skills that Aunt Erma (86 years young) used to embroider this quilt with this gorgeous cross stitch is mind boggling to me. The work that went into this quilt is simply exquisite. It is a family tradition. My whole life I have always had beds covered by homemade quilts with the unique prairie point edging that is also a family tradition. My grandma Rose made gorgeous quilts. Aunt Erma has made gorgeous quilts for many family members (including my sons & Baby Alexandra) and my mom has also made quilts for (almost all of) her grand kids (shh don't read this to Jeremy:). Mom even helped Jack make a quilt this last spring in his classroom.
This is a blast out to my siblings and my cousins.....Who is going to carry on this family tradition?
Good news=today was another good day for Mom and THANK YOU St. Louis Cardinals for another WIN!
