This is the ONLY pic I took of the quilt I made for Jared, (I can't believe I didn't think to take one when I finished it.) I just forget:)Chemo Brain!
Anyway, I took most of his old soccer jerseys and printed a few pics on some. Then I just created a quilt from them, and for the back I used his very favorite blanket,(everyones favorite) a quilt made for me 30yrs ago by his great grandmother petersen. So, needless to say it turned out great! It is more of a sentimental quilt than a prize. I am so glad I could do it for him. I presented it to him at his wedding dinner, that was held at the Lion House in SLC. Here is a copy of the poem I wrote to go with the Quilt.
Jared,
As a small baby I held you in my arms,
Then off with your Grandpa, "up to the farm".
Now before us is an adult with a life full of hopes & dreams.
How did it go by so fast? It was just yesterday, Or so it seems.
Your infectious spirit gives us all much pleasure,
The blessings you have given are way beyond measure.
All of the memories this quilt holds...each and every block has a story to be told.
Keep it in your home, on a wall, or on your bed,
The love that was put into this goes without being said.
All of your Trophies, Victories, and tears of defeat, are sewn together for you to keep.
Thank you for all the memories and fun you have shared!
For those who know and love you nothing can compare!!
Love,
Mom
