I continue to unearth more treasures every day! I was told there is a box in the attic with scraps from the clothes mom made us when we were babies (us kids range from 57 yrs to 51 yrs old). Can't wait to find that box!
MrsReeves2, my mom also died on March 2. When I visited her in January she wanted to give me all her fabric, but I didn't have room in my suitcase. She was not a quilter, but I will find something to do with her fabrics.
I'm sorry for your loss. I know you must miss your mom as much as I miss mine.
