I also made a sleeve for her computer. We used bits and pieces left over from her quilt. My friend Claudia graciously agreed to make the panel with her initials, since she has an embroidery machine and I don't.
It feels very strange to know I'm now living here without her--despite the fact that she will be home for Labor Day weekend. Just as growing old isn't for sissies, neither is leaving your child at college (although I admit I've shed tears at every transition).
Happy quiltmaking,..

A beautiful quilt to keep your little girl warb! I've shed many of those sort of tears to, Dora - god bless.

Dora, the quilt is absolutely gorgeous! And you're right, the tears are shed at every milestone, but you know in a way they are happy tears, that the little soul you've been blessed to raise has gone on to the next step in this road of life. And it doesn't change for us moms whether they're 17 or 37!
sigh. seems like these kids just grow up way too fast! last night my son was home for a couple hours, just practicing music out in the shed with his friends. knowing he was here lifted my spirits and made me feel really good. i know they need to spread those wings and fly, but it's still a little hard to let go.
That's a very cheery, bright, and pretty quilt for your daughter to enjoy while away at college. Those years go by so quickly. You'll be making many more beautiful quilts for her.
The quilt is just perfect!! Yup, it is all quite hard. We are all in it together. It is a gift, if we remember thru the tears.
Lovely, cheery quilt for college, perfect! Hugs to you both at this new time! How are you feeling?
I totally understand the loneliness of her being away. We went thru it last year, with both boys being away at college. I drove my youngest back the end of July so that he can work at the dorm desk. He won't be able to come home again until at least Christmas, and that will be a very short visit, too, since he will have to continue to work at the dorm desk over all holidays.
What a perfect name for her beautiful quilt, Dora! She'll enjoy your quilty hug every night. Growing up is hard on a Momma, isn't it?
