I have some of those teeny tiny squares! When I was going through my aunt's fabric stash (her version of cleaning house, haha!) I found four boxes of them. They were fabric samples from a company I can't remember the name of - the idea being, you send them back the square and the yardage you wanted. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but I look forward to making something with them! :)

Wow - two big tubs of memories. I love the picture of the kids, another sweet memory.

Wonderful memories for you, Kelli and what a wonderful surprise...

So hard to lose a loved one, but you are so blessed to now have a part of her in all of those cute fabrics. What a great treasure! Looking forward to seeing what you create from them.

What a beautiful photo of the children. Those scraps are going to be wonderful and I'm sure the finished projects will prompt many happy memories xx

Wonderful surprise gift from your grandmother! The pic of your children is beautiful !!

What a wonderful photo of your children, and your tubs of fabric are great. Thank you so much for sharing with us all today.

oh Kelli my heart goes out to you.xo

What a beautiful and moving photo of your children. So many fabrics as memories.

So sorry to read about your Nan...my thoughts are with you...how nice that you have all of your Nans fabric...

What a lovely surprise and it will provide you with so many nice memories! The pic of the kids is such a treasure!

I am so sorry that she passed away, she has left a great treasure of fabric for you. That is precious.

Aww, what a lovely treasure trove for you to remember, and I know just what you mean about the smells. My gran's house has a particular smell, and I always associate it with my childhood.

Very poignant photo from the burial too, how sweet with the flower

Hello Kelli,

It is funny how smells reamin with us for so long. Enjoy that fabric. The photo is a perfect shot.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo

Lovely story - whatever you end up making will be a memory of and a tribute to your Grandma. Love the picture of the kids.

I am so sorry for your loss. It looks like you will have wonderful quilts to share with your family. May God be with you and your family during this time.

aw what a sweet post and a great memory for your children.

I know it's a sad post but it's also a lovely post - full of poignant moments...take care xx

Kelli how precious! I agree those elephants are great! How lovely to be able to make beautiful things from your grandma's fabric. Huge hugs to you xx

You captured such a tender moment.

That is great that you are going to use her fabrics and be able to remember her everytime you use those quilts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I think it will be wonderful to have some quilts that you and your Grandma shared in making together..so to speak.

Lots of wonderful fabric to make something special in memory of Grandma.

What a wonderful box of treasures! Hugs to you.

I am sooo sorry for your loss! Grandmothers just hold a different place in our hearts than others, or at least mine did! I miss my 'MUNNER' still to this day and it has be numerous years since her passing. I too have some of her fabrics that I treasure!

How fun for you to discover some of her fabric stash!

How sweet of your mother to give you the bins. Having something so special to connect you to your grandmother will be so wonderful through the years to come. I have my grandmother's recipe for pie crust and french apple pie, and each year at this time, when I make the pies, I feel so close to her because of them. So sorry that she has passed, but I know you will be with her again in Heaven someday.

Condolences on the loss of your grandmother. How nice that you have those tubs of fabric from her. You can think of her every time you see them in a quilt!

Again I´m sorry for your loss!
I love the picture of your kids, your grandma´s great scraps and that you will get to use them. Stiching up this quilt will bring back memories.

I am so sorry. Grandma's are so special! Your fabrics are all the more wonderful. I still have some stuff from both my grandma's. I am still using up old thread...sometimes it is on wood, sometimes, styrofoam!
She will love what ever you make!

Hi Kelli... oh, I'm so sorry for your losses of late. Time does seem to stand still amidst the busyness. Have fun with the fabrics... wonderful memories in the making.

Aw Kelli,
So sorry that you just lost your grandma. I lost mine not that long ago and often post about sewing with her bits of fabric too. I can't wait to see what you will make from all that fabric gold!
