What a precious treasure indeed to have and to cherish. Oh and Sadie is pretty nice too.

My neice stopped by today. She spent many hours with my mom sewing and talking. They were like best friends. Anyway, when I showed her the quilt, she said Mom told her it was the last quilt her mother made her!! What a treasure! Considering I learned to sew and quilt from my Mom and Grandmother. To actually have one my grandmother hand quilted is beyond measure. I had to share the story with others who would understand the feelings I am going through and how much this quilt means to me.

The second picture shows how much our new pup Sadie has grown. She loves her picture taken too. The third one shows the hand quilting.

Thanks for sharing your time and my memories.
