Remember When. . . Mom reined us in at dinner?

​Have you ever found a handwritten note of someone who has passed?  For me, it creates a connection. I am sure this was the same for Whitney when she discovered her mother's (Annie) note tucked in with some beautiful fabric printed with horses. The calculations spoke of her mother's plan to make curtains for her kitchen and her love of horses.  As much as she loved horses, she loved her family more.  Whitney shared how her mom always said she treasured family meals together, so table runners seemed the perfect way to keep her at the center of those gatherings.

Whitney felt that adding this quote her mother had given her would make it perfect and adding her signature was a must.  Clearly she was right since Joanna, one of Annie's girls wrote, “It is the most special gift I have ever received. I love that the ‘Love “Annie’ is in her handwriting- I recognized it instantly."

​Whitney and I collaborated on the Story Starter, which kept in the pocket on the back.

The result was four table runners, one for each of Annie's girls.  She will live in their hearts forever and, now they can always have her at their table as well.

There was quite a bit of fabric leftover, so I helped Whitney think through some projects that she could do with it for the grand and great-grandchildren.
