Memories to Heirlooms

Remember When . . . there was a common thread?

A tree skirt with alternating wedges of white and patchwork.  Each white wedge has a cardinal embroidered on the edge and each patch work is green red and gold.
The baby I once held got married! I am thrilled Maddie & Jon found each other. She has a special place in my heart and deserves all the happiness life can give.  
A tree skirt is my go-to wedding gift:
  • It complements the ornaments I have given over the years
  • They are unlikely to get two
  • It is a reminder of my love each Christmas
I always have color-coded Christmas ornament; Red for the first child, Green for the second, etc.  Maddie liked a simple patchwork with bit bit of an edge, and reminded me that she was the "lucky third child - gold." So, a thread of gold runs through each fabric.

A close up of the cardinal on the tree skirt.  It is the same design as the the one not the pillow to the left.
I used the same embroidered cardinal on Maddie's tree skirt.
When she asked for it to have a cardinal, I immediately knew why.  A few years back, I made pillows with a cardinal for her mother, Meg, to honor her Mother, Maddie's MomMom. MomMom loved cardinals, and it has come to be a symbol to represent her in their family. I love that this gift represents the start of a new family while staying connected to the past generations through three remarkable women.

Best wishes Maddie and Jon!
