I thing you need a big hug, but maybe so did that old man. I wonder if his wife made quilts by hand and she is no longer here. I look back at the quilts of the past and the love and talent that these women put into these quilts. Not saying that you have not put in the same love and talent, YOUR quilt is beautiful and I can see the work you put into it. I just think that we need to also remember the quilts of the past, for without them we would not know the quilts of our present and future.
