Lucy’s Mourning Quilt in Progress

Posted on February 8, 2014 by Martha

Making a little quilt in memory of my recently deceased pets really helps me in the grieving process. Because this is a mourning quilt, there are going to be several black prints from the 19th century, but I also wanted to include some antique pink pieces for Lucy, my sweet girl dog.

On my cutting table, I am staging the black, pink and shirting quilt blocks and pieces being considered for this little quilt.  It’s all kind of a mess now, but it’s the way I like to work.

    Martha I am so sorry for your loss! There are no words in this situation that can comfort but I am sending you lots of cyber hugs. I know how hard it is…
    Hugs and hugs,

    It is hard to lose a beloved pet and you have found a unique way to remember your pet. I like the idea of the touches of pink.

    I am so sorry to read about Lucy. I think making a mourning quilt is a very good idea. Our pets are so much a part of our families. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

    I am sending you hugs and prayers for you during this process. I understand the loss you are feeling and hope for healing soon for you and your family. I know Lucy was as fortunate to have you for a Mama, as you were to have her as a pet.

    Dear Martha-
    I’m very sorry for your loss of Lucy. The mourning quilt is one lovely way to honor and remember her. I will follow your progress and think of how pets can add so much to the lives of their families.

    Just found your blog by researching an old pattern called Sawtooth. This was a retreat quilt that I made last October and I made mine in 1800’s. Just love all your little quilts, beautiful work. Will be a follower now that I have found you. Judy
