Geraldine's Endless Canning

I made a quilt that I named after my mom's aunt.

But when I made this one,

I thought of another one of her aunts.

Every time we went to her house, 

she was in one stage or another of canning.

The garden was huge,

The canning was a summer long adventure.

They had 13 kids and lived on a teachers salary.

She was amazing.  

She passed away this week.

Nothing to be sad about.

She lived 88 years and has 13 wonderful children.

I will miss her.

I have named my little quilt

Geraldine's Endless Canning

For the record, she was a quilter too.

I made the first of the blocks for Mrs. Pickles.

-my new grand daughter-

I have three planned including some very cute sheep blocks.
