I wanted to show and share with you something very special to me. Some collectors write about their special figurines or experiences, but I want to share a few pictures of my Precious Moments quilts that my mom has made for me. As the weather has turned cooler, we like to embrace that cozy feeling through the company of friends and family, perhaps a toasty beverage, and maybe even wrapped in the warmth of a favorite quilt. Club member Dawn Schindler does just that with quilted masterpieces made with a mother’s love. She graciously shares her story! A Collector 's Story
My mom, Dora Albrecht, is going to be 91 this year and has macular degeneration. She has been creating these beautiful masterpieces for the last few years. She just finished making a multi-color quilt with 30 blocks! The blue one was the first one that she made with 49 blocks and the black one has 81 blocks. She is now on her last one that she is going to try to finish because her eyesight is not getting better. The time and energy it takes to create one of the masterpieces is lengthy and is created out of her love for
Precious Moments. She cuts the blocks, then stamps the patterns on each block, embroiders each block by hand, and then puts them all together for each quilt. The time she has put into each quilt just shows the love that cannot ever be taken away. These quilts can never be replaced. The love and time Mom has put into each one is priceless. Each quilt is different, and no money can buy the love and time that she has spent making these heirlooms for me. All of these will be valued and cherished treasures for the rest of my life. Thanks, Dawn Schindler
