    Your throw is beautiful. Your story made me cry. The only present she gets is from you. My 90 year old father is in a memory care unit of an assisted living place - fancy name for a locked unit. His dimenia is so bad, he has to be locked in the unit. Fortunately, I have a daughter, her son, and a family friend who remember my father with gifts, along with myself. I also have a brother, but that's a whole different story. I'm happy your mother has you.

    Oh it's lovely. i hope that woman's son goes out and buys her something in place of that quilt! Nursing homes and therapy places tend to have things taken often. I even embroidered my Sister's name in her quilt and it got stolen anyway!

    I know.............I'm thinking of making her a "replacement quilt".

    I am so glad your Mother finally got the gift. But have a question. Why did the the nurses open mail to your Mother?See what happens when you arent looking. My Mothers shoes disappeared an never found.

    Actually, that is a wonderful story, most don't have a happy ending when it comes to missing quilts.

    You made a wonderful quilt!
