Since our dear Mom passed, my sisters and I have donated much to the needy but kept some of her personal items -- scarves, tops, etc., of which we cannot part. To use these items as pieces that can be joined into a quilt for Christmas stockings would bring the memory of Mom into our homes again during this season meant for family.Having never quilted before, it seems a bit intimidating but the scale of a christmas stocking makes sense. Bless you, Weeks, for sharing your pictures and story! Beautiful idea!

I'm trying to step back and make everyone's Christmas gifts this year--not something huge for each person, just something hand-made to show I care more than giving the irritatingly generic gift card would. You've given me yet another idea to tailor to someone on my list. Thank you... Weeks, that was inspiring!

Making things personal like this reminds us of how important the thought is behind the gift. I think people forget about the thought too easily. While it's nice to be able to ask your family or friends for certain gifts during the holidays at times, we must remember how nice it is to receive, and give something, that wasn't asked for but fits the receiver so perfectly. When someone truly thinks of you during the holidays, THAT is the best feeling. This is a great idea. Making things personal like this reminds us of how important the thought is behind the gift.
