Through the Ages

This quilt I've been keeping under wraps until it was finished.

Well... its finished!

I made this quilt for my grandparents as a Christmas present. 

This year they celebrated 62 years of marriage together.

If you ask them, they attribute it to the fact that every morning, 

they meet in the kitchen and give each other a hug and scratch the other back haha

On their anniversary this year my grandmother went to the store and told the man at the seafood counter she wanted "the biggest lobster they had for her favorite guy"
she's 82 this year and he's 89 

So this is for them, and the love they have for one another

 

Hard to see like this, but basically there are pictures from every decade they've been together.

The middle row in order is their wedding day walking out of the rectory, the professional shot taken later and then a modern day

Then, on the top row, middle column is a picture of the family they created in the 1960s

bottom row middle column a picture of the family they created modern day

On their wedding day

More modern day

Just a pieced backing and the white square is for my personal message to them

I wanted to create something for them.

That celebrates their love and reminds them that everything they've gone 

through has brought them to where they are.
