    Klue I have decided to change the name of my quilt.

    Last year my mother in-law went into the hospital she had some troubles that she had been in and out for off and on. I had spoken to her on a Thurs while she was in the hospital she asked what I had been up to (She lived in FL I am in MA). While on the phone I told her about all the block swaps I had been doing. She said I am going home tomorrow we will talk this weekend I would like to join you in some of the swaps. Well, she never did get to go home we lost her about a week later.
    I was working on some of the week 2 blocks early (2am) into the morning on Jan 12. I was thinking to myself how my MIL would have really loved to do this and go on the computer and show them off to everyone. As I was thinking it felt like someone had their arm over my shoulder as if to say "whatcha workin on?". I stopped what I was doing and said hello Ma and then it was gone. I said okay I need to rename this quilt. At 6:30 am her Great Grandson was born. I know kinda corny but wanted to share my little story with my friends.
    The new name is ----------- "Dear Jane a Message From Myrtle"
    yup her name was Myrtle :wink:

    I love your story Cher, and I am teary-eyed too. You sound like one of the lucky ones...to have a dear MIL that loved you, so much she came back to say hello! I count myself among the lucky one's with my MIL, and we are fortunate to have just celebrated her 78th birthday last week.

    I love the name of your quilt, and thanks for sharing your story. It's these stories and life moments that we share that really bring us all closer together!

    are you PP Blue? This one went together really easy using this method. I find what helps with PPing is the use of pins. I pin everything to make sure it all lines up.
