That is so sweet!! My mother sewed and we did sew a lot together. When she was living with me, she would help me a lot. I am an only child, but my DDIL has taken an interest in quilting now. We now sew together and go to retreats together several times a year. (Can't believe she leaves 3 kids from ages 1 to 13 at home). Nothing like sewing together as a bonding experience. You begin to understand how much the old quilting bees meant to the pioneer women. Linda in MO
