She passed 3 years ago. Two of his younger cousins have also gotten quilts from their grandmother since then.

Here is the nice note i just got from my sister in law:

"jennie,
your gesture of the quilts are the most loving and thoughtful thing, so thank you for that jenn. Mom would be thrilled. Every time i think about you doing it, it brings tears to my eyes. The latest is absolutely gorgeous. Ross loves it, i love it! You are a kind woman, i am lucky to have you for a sister-in-law.

Sandra"

note, i don't have a picture of the quilt. It was simple, yet masculine, done in tan, burgundy, and hunter green. It wouldn't win any beauty contests, so the love is what matters here.

But i hope that at some point, you all feel this sense of appreciation from a non quilter.
