    This is one of the most amazing posts I have ever seen. The quilts are beautiful, and the grandchildren are extremely blessed to have a cousin like you. I really cannot say enough about how seeing and reading this made me feel. Thanks for making my day!!

    This us what quilting is all about! What good work you have done here! You honored this woman, made beautiful quilts, created gorgeous memories and heirlooms, recycled, gave fabulous gifts...what am I missing? What a blessing you are to your family.
