Linda, I forgot to comment on the superb picture of you mom. I can see by the look on her face and in her eyes where you get your sense of humor. I did the marble thing about 40 years ago. You pour the marbles in a skillet and dwirl it around until they are warm. Then you pour them gently in cold water and they crack. Some break clear in two but some only crack. I am sitting under the lamo right now that I made with them. (It was a kit) Do not know where they can be bought now but bet the quality won't be as good. I had to put a little bit of quilting on the tank toper so it would qualify in my mind as a quilted object. I had thought of making a pieced one and that idea is still floating around in my mind. Maybe a french braid pattern? Will post a pic if it ever develops.
