Today I ran across a blanket I had put away that Rebekah had made for me. She loved using her talents to make things for other people. She crocheted this particular blanket for me from patterned blue yarn, and also crocheted a purple and green blanket for Alyson. She also made a scarf and poncho for Alyson, and a purse for me. She made up her own patterns when she had to just to make something nice for someone else. I believe she got alot of joy in life from making and doing things for others.
I remember a quilt she made for Alyson and she was so afraid that I wouldn't like it because it wasn't "perfect." The stitching was a little crooked when she tried to quilt it together, but I loved it! It was my favorite blanket to lay on the floor for Aly to crawl or roll around on when she was really little. There is nothing that could make me give up that blanket! It was and is perfect to me because my sister made it for me and my baby. I will remember her desire to please me every time I look at that blanket.
