SEVENCUBS , you did a beautiful job! You Mom will cherish it always for sure! I'm so sorry to hear you lost your father.
joyful_noise I also sorry to hear about your son. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child. My heart breaks for you. I do understand not being able to start his quilt, we lost my brother a year ago this past January 20th. I've harvested the fabric from his blue jeans, and the front of his favorite Harley T-shirt, but haven't yet been able to do anything with it. I take it out every now and again, look at it. Make plans for it, then put it back in the closet. If I ever get it done, it will go to his little grandson.
My prayers for healing for both your families.
