    A very beautiful quilt that holds a precious memory. My Grandmother taught me how to quilt when I was nine (that was a "couple" of years ago lol) After she had her stroke, she tried to quilt, but she just couldn't do it. I have those unfinished quilt blocks and other quilts she did. They are very precious to me, so I understand your feelings. Thank you for sharing a special memory!

    I'm so glad your sister remembered and return it to you. What a treasure. Beautiful work on the pillow. I love Cathedral Windows.

    How pretty! You're an inspiration to me - a cathedral window is close to the top of my to-do list. :)

    I don't know what it is about cathedral windows, but I just melt when I see them. And how wonderful to know how much your mom cherished it.
