Well, I cried too. My grandmother raised me from 3 mos. old. She did quilting too. I have always wondered where they went after she passed away. I can remember my sister and I sleeping under so many quilts, that we couldn't turn over, we slept on a enclosed porch and it was cold. Both of us quilt now. Giving to the homeless.
You really have a treasure and I'm so happy for you. I think your Mother gave you the greatest gift of all.
