Gee karla .. You made me cry. I miss my mom and grandma too. I only have a few pieces of my mom's embroidery, but, sometimes I get them out and hug them. Silly, I know. My grandma quilted, but I didn't get any of hers. But, I take great store in the fact that (god willing) I will see them again some day.
I love all the quilts your great grandma made. She was one industrious woman to make so many. Such a treasure.
