How have you used crafting to take a sentimental journey?
How do you do this?
Make a quilt or mixed media art with fabrics from a relative or ancestor.
Create shadow boxes with memorabilia.
Stitch fabric art from a relative’s neckties.
Display memorabilia in a glass enclosed cabinet.
Make scrapbooks
Write journals
Incorporate memorabilia and photos into collages and altered books.
Frame quilt blocks that a family member started but didn’t get around to putting into a quilt.
What have you done with memorabilia that will save your heritage and take family members on sentimental journeys?
In future posts, I’ll describe some of the “sentimental journeys” I’m taking with family memorabilia.
