Such a tragic loss. A joy, though, to hear that her Grandmother's quilts were spared. I can not imagine the heartbreak of seeing much of your life's work washed away and destroyed.
I would like to make a slightly off topic commment, though. I am growing weary of reporters use of the phrase, "...not your grandmother's quilter" or as this reporter wroter, "...not the typical blocky Americana-style...". True as it may be, I would like to see some more original descriptions of this art. Frankly, I aspire to be a quilter on par with some of the "grandmothers".
