In our family there is a special place for hand made gifts. A loaf of bread, a visit, or a wonderful afghan. This is our oldest daughters gift to her mom for Miriam's birthday. Thank you again Arline. You are loved.

That is a wonderful tag. There is nothing like a gift that is made by hand from someone that you love. I am in the process of making my mother and my mother-in-law a heirloom quilt. I have sewed 36 quilting squares for both quilts and I'm trying to get some pictures together to finish these gifts. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Arline here...
I decided on the tag for two reasons. One selfish, one not. :)
The selfish reason is that I don't WANT Momma to forget. I don't want her to slide away a memory at a time. But alas... I am not in charge of life. So, I put the label on there hoping that it will help for a time.
And the not selfish one... as I was finishing the last of the stitches on this quilt, I thought of the text about being knit together in my mother's womb. This was SO personal to me. Yes, He knit ME together in my Momma, but He also knit HER together in her Momma, my grandma. We're both His kids, the work of His hand. He has a plan for our lives... I can be still, quiet... and know that it's okay.
Onward.
