Ornaments from Gramma’s wedding dress and Grampa’s flannel shirts will be decorating one family’s Christmas trees this year. Thanks Jane! Merry Christmas!

This collection of treasured baby blankies came together with a colorful, crocheted-fleece-cotton-crazy-quilt vibe. I could practically see the memories as each square was recognized and remembered. Thanks, Anna!

New item alert: tiny quilted photo frame ornaments! The ones shown here were made from special fabrics, like a vintage tie and a corner of a dish towel that Gramma embroidered years ago. Others (not pictured) are in seasonal prints and themed fabrics. All of them are available at Burlap & Lace in downtown Waukesha. Come take a look, and be sure to take a stroll around the shop—there are treasures and unique gifts around every corner!

Some memory bear families went home last week (that is, pre-snowstorm). They’re going to keep Grampa close this holiday season. Thanks, Susie, for trusting me with your memories.

When Grampa was a fisherman, a bear from his shirts gets a fishing vest. ❤️ Thanks, Sheri!

Twins! These cuties came from the same shirt and will bring lots of hugs to their families. Thanks, Melissa, for trusting me with your memories. 😊

Practicing a new-to-me-but-decades-old technique—a flannel rag quilt! All those exposed seams are kinda the point of a rag quilt, and I’ve been told it just gets fluffier and snugglier with every washing, but geez it was hard to let that happen! 😂 Next time (next time?) I think I’ll try it with bigger blocks. 🤔

This cutie’s full of team pride and memories! Thanks, Cindy!
