    Lovely quilts and a lovely family, thank you for sharing your family with us.
    me too - pass the tissues please.
    Same here too. What a special gift you have given to your beloved Aunt's grandchildren. The quilts you made from her clothes are beautiful! And with all the thought and love you put into them they will be loved and treasured. I know your Aunt would be proud of you. :thumbup:

    As many of the other readers, I am crying as I read your beautiful story. You created treasures in the quilts you made of your aunts dresses. But I feel the greatest treasure of all to your family is "you". God bless you!

    What a wonderful story you tell with your quilts about your quilts. A treasure for all.
