It is possible that your children, now grown, remember fondly those times they piled into bed with Dad and Mom or huddled under one quilt to watch a tv show or movie. A quilt made with love from Mom just might be their way of getting in that extra Mom and Me time even though we know we are all to old to need it. LOL I wore out the old quilt that Grandma had on the couch for just such occasions. It was meant to be worn out in loving use, and I am proud to say it was me and my son and the dogs that did it enthusiastically.
