Also, like most quilters, my mom had a large stash of fabric. My sister and I took some of her stash, and a huge amount was given to one of her friends to make charity quilts with, but in the spirit of my mom I snatched a few meters to share with her friends online.<\/p>\n<p>I cut the fabric up into fat quarter(ish) pieces that I&#8217;m going to mail to Mom&#8217;s friends. I will be sending some to a couple different people from the online groups Mom was a part of, and they will be able to distribute them at the same time as they do their regular swaps. But I also have a few extras I&#8217;m willing to send to any of my Mom&#8217;s friends who may not be a part of swapping groups. If that is you, please email me at rhonda@jofigure.com and I&#8217;ll send something your way.<\/p>\n<p>Mom would be estatic to know that her fabric was going to continue to be used in wonderful, creative fabric art.<\/p>\n<p>I have at least two different patterns planned in memorium of my mother, but I&#8217;m going to finish the Jelly Roll Surprise one first. I&#8217;m still not emotionally ready to design the Mom-centric ones just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mother, Sandra McKenzie (also known as WinterBear to some of her online friends) recently passed away.
