I am not misty eyed as one person wrote...I am boo hooing right along with you and I need a box of tissues. It is out of reach..but since I am draining..I will need to get up and get it soon. My Mom was a quilter and she passed in May. I still can't get through a box of her things! You are a marvel. I know you will enjoy each and every second you work on this sampler quilt. I am so happy for you!
