Sweet Caroline
If thoughts of Neil Diamond singing this song pops in your head right now, you are not alone. However, for me it brings fond memories of my mom this past year. Caroline of course is her name and she was indeed sweet. I learned all about sewing from her when I was very little, watching her make and create everything from clothes to quilts. I started this blog because I hope to continue learning and doing and sharing. Since she passed away this last fall I miss my project sharing with her. In a way sharing with the world makes me feel like I am still showing her all that I am working on and doing. "Sweet Caroline" is the name I gave this quilt I made for her when she was moved to a nursing home in the spring of 2012. It is a tumbler pattern made from a template she bought me. I wanted to cheer up her room and show her that I could keep the learning of quilting going after she was gone. I sort of did my own layout and added some fun little tumblers to the front
