"This is a quilted wall hanging depicting family life today and honoring family members past—in a border of their surnames. Some of these ancestors were pioneers, who are honored in the blocks of the quilt. The countries of ancestors are seen among the roots of the trunk. Our home and the home of each child are shown with a branch of leaves—each leaf containing the name of our children and their spouses, their children and spouses, and in some cases, great-grandchildren. Depicted are favorite vacations, activities, reunions, missions, and education. The center and focus is our Redeemer and Savior, Jesus Christ, including an offering of a broken heart and contrite spirit and temple worship."
