This is my card for the Tickle a Teapotter challenge this month. We are making warm cosy patchwork for winter, with extra cookies if you make a "memory quilt" and incorporate some memories into the card.
You'll find the challenge HERE.
I used a quilt set from Whippersnapper to create mine, which represents the community garden I walk to when I visit my dad, and the hens that we often have to chase back into their run again before he's happy to leave. The script patches (French Foliage) represent all the notes he was writing to himself to remind him of the simplest things as his memory deteriorated.
I think the sentiment is from the same Whippersnapper set. It's stamped with French Foliage and Timeless Textures, and the card background is stamped with Linen and stitched.

Love your quilt and your sentiment, it has a vintage look and love the burlap look on your stamped back ground, I can read the script but a lot of words are missing...

Fantastic memory quilt Sabrina. Love your story of your walk to see your dad and how this card incorporates that walk. Beautifully done for the Teapot exchange. One lucky teapotter is going to love this stunning card.

Ohhh Sabrina, how can you part with this. I loved every word of the challenge write-up, it was sad and sweet all at the same time. I chuckled reading about Teddy having a four poster bed. Your card and write-up are beautiful my friend, thank you for everything you do to keep the Sisters of the Travelling Teapot stay together.

I loved your story Sabrina even though it is sad too. I loved the part about chasing chickens. Your quilt is beautiful! I love the "frayed" edges. Beautiful little images and LOVE the chickens!

I love your memory you shared Sabrina -- what good times you have to remember your father by. And I love your card -- those quilt squares are so cute and I love the 'country' feel your card has!!
