My mother hand sewed and embroidered the quilt that I keep on my bed during the winter months. I often think of the amount of effort and time she put into it. I feel comfortable in my bed knowing the blanket she gave me was made with so much care. The left is a photo of a locket she sewed into the quilt, she put my picture along with hers inside. It represents the solidity and constancy of our relationship as mother and daughter. We have both aged since the photos were taken, my mother will be turning sixty soon. As we age our relationship changes, but the things she makes for me are a continuous reminder of the past.
