For those of you who had a chance to read my guest curator spot on Crescendoh you will know that the quilt I made for my mother in law was one of the things that got me started on my business. I thought I would show some photos of the quilt. It is made of the clothing that my mother in law's mother wore during her life. After she passed away I crafted a 'security blanket' made of squares cut from the salvagable parts of her clothing as a gift for my mother in law. Pockets, tags, collars and more. The joy of sharing this gift coupled with the challenge of salvaging usability from vintage treasures inspired me to begin Adored Before back in early 2002.

Melissa, that is beautiful...i loved the story behind the start of your business that you shared on crescendoh...thanks for showing the quilt too...i had been wishing to see it...
I'm so glad you showed photos of this security blanket. I read your piece with Jenny, and that's how I discovered your blog. What a loving, thoughtful keepsake you've created, one that is sure to be among your mother in laws treasures!
