February 4, 2010 - Photo of the Day - The Quilt

This quilt was made by my Grandmother Trella as a wedding gift for me. As a young bride I was happy to receive it as a symbol of my new life as a married woman, but looking at it today I truly appreciate it. I have no idea how many hours she spent cutting, sewing, and hand quilting all those little pieces together to create something for me that is both beautiful and useful. It has outlived her, and I hope it will outlive me as well.
