My husband and I share our anniversary with his parents,
who
celebrated
their fiftieth anniversary on July 7, 1990. For that occasion, I made
them
this Double Wedding Ring wall hanging in colors (blue and peach) to
match
their bedroom. It is machine pieced, following directions in a Georgia
Bonesteel book, and hand quilted. It hung over their bed for a long
time after
we gave it to them. Sadly, my dear father-in-law passed away on July
29,
1996, after a long battle with emphysema. We all miss him, but we are
comforted
by the continued presence of my mother-in-law.
Update: My lovely mother-in-law passed
away on April 4, 2015, at almost 95 years old. She is sorely missed by
her children (and in-laws), her grandchildren, and her
great-grandchildren. She lived a full and happy life to the end.
