I've talked about my MIL before, and this DIL story reminds me of yet another story about her. DH was helping his Dad in his Dad's hangar, when he spotted an obviously old quilt lying rumpled in a corner. He asked about it, and was told that they used it to wrap airplane parts when they moved. DH asked who made it. 'Your Mom's mother.' 'Doesn't Mom want it it?' 'Nope.' 'Can I have it.' 'Yep.' So we have it. It's a utility quilt made of '30s clothing scraps, rather worn, but certainly deserved better care. I also have quilts made by each of my grandmothers, but they've ALWAYS had good care!
