Oh Chele...if you only knew. I'm SOLID gray underneath my (expensive) dye job!!! My daughter got me there at about 18 months...:) It wasn't her good looks, but her ever-so-charming (and intense) personality!!!
Thank you all for saying such nice things about my son (and both my kids in all the past threads). I'm very proud of them, like all mama's are of their beautiful precious children. I especially love that I already know how much his granny will treasures this little quilt - she's one of us, even though she's never quilted a stitch! She has the same sort of sentimentality and sense of history with our family and the little things like these that really mean something. It will barely cover her thighs if she's sitting in a chair, but I know for sure that she will have a smile on her face everytime she sees it. Like I do now!
I feel so lucky to have my children, and our comfortable American life. I don't know if any of you saw the quilt show post that had the "Darfur" quilt, but I'll tell you what...we are lucky people for sure.
