On the 24th day of Spring...

A memories quilt
Made for Mum and Dad many years ago, it now hangs in her bedroom
Mum's mother ~ we never knew her.  We all have her little round face :)
Mum's father ~ once a school teacher and administrator on Poid Island, they were living there when Mum was born 
Dad and his parents ~ living the simple life on a banana farm in Austinville settlement in the Gold Coast hinterland.  It's long gone.... the families moved out and the rainforests moved back in 
It's a little dusty and the quilting is bad ... but it has a special memory for Mum :)
Seeya soon for some more Spring niceness...
