What a precious and loving gift you received. Your Grandma was surely a special person. Your daughter is lovely and the jacket is a work or art. Enjoy these gifts and I love the idea of names on the quilt to be. Your mom was so thoughtful with the present of tissues. Bless you and yours.

You are truly blessed. I never had a "grandma". They both died before I was born. One of them sewed beautifully but only clothes. I am the first quilter in my family. Now that I am a great-grandmother, I realize how much I missed. Enjoy your treasure and treasure your memories.

Thank you for sharing your story. My mom was a quilter and several years after she passed away I came across a box of UFOs. Among them crazy quilt squares she had made. I had a new son by then and made a quilt for him so he would have something of the grandmother he never knew. I still have a box of 4" denim squares she had appliqued and hand embroidered, along with a picture of the coverlet she intended to make. It's on my "to do" list. It's comforting to work on something begun by a loved one who is no longer here. Makes you feel like they really are still with us.
