What a lucky grandma, I just had to add my two cents. It's having supportive, loving family around like you that keep her going! Plus, your quilts are just lovely--I'm putting a rag quilt on my "to do" list. :D
My great grandmother was the quilter in our family and I cherish a couple of the quilts I have been fortunate enough to get. They are all hand pieced and hand quilted---I can only imagine how long they must have taken! One was given to me when I went away to college. It was so comforting to have being away from home. (although now I wish I hadn't washed it so many times....it has faded some).
