  Honor a Loved One With a Quilt

     Linda Farley Wade has been a quilter for about 25 years. She used to make her quilts completely by hand but now uses one of her many antique treadle sewing machines. Linda gives lectures and demonstrations on antique sewing machines. She encourages young people to learn how to quilt. She contributes quilt squares to the "Home of the Brave" project. One of Linda's most rewarding experiences is making "memory quilts". She uses the lost loved one's clothes to fashion a quilt, adding a photo, and an embroidered label. Linda can also make a quilt with new fabric and add anything that might make it special for them - a favorite tie, a scarf, or a professional symbol representing something in their lives. People can use a permanent pen to write messages on the plain squares. Some quilts are made with pockets so people can write down memories on paper to put in the pockets. Sometimes Linda uses specialty fabric for the back of the quilt based on the interest of the person being honored. Linda likes to sit and talk with the person having the quilt made because it helps her understand the likes and dislikes, hobbies, interest, and basic personality of the honoree. She strives to make each quilt an original work of art and a special form of comfort for the person having the quilt made. (less) ... Read more

  Chores made easy.... That's a great idea!! Kids want to be responsible; they want to have a purpose and independence, but somehow us parents made it ok for them to forget those very same values we were raised with. If there were a way to create a craving in children to do their chores, wouldn't you want to experience that for yourself? It's like a snowball that starts out as an awkward shy kid that gets nudged down the mountain. One cycle at a time getting bigger, stronger, and gaining momentum to make smart choices, and take care of themselves because they've learned just how great that feels, for themselves. We're not saying our apps are magic, but from day one the goal has been the same. Help families work together. Help kids find energy in being responsible and taking control in productive ways. They need it... The world is really complicated these days but there's nothing more precious than raising kids and having a young family. I know I personally miss those days. Kids are growing up in a time and space that we have yet to truly understand but one thing is certain, technology has a grip on every generation these days so we should learn to embrace, and how best to use it. Download the app for free. Give it a try and if you don't love it just let us know why and we'll fix it. (less) ... Read more
