Maybe my stash will inspire someone to step into quilting after I am gone. In the meantime, I hold in my heart the joy my tiny granddaughter displays every time she sneaks out of my studio holding a pieced block or wraps herself in a top that hasn't been quilted yet, her little face beaming, pointing at the colors, and singing, "Mine, mine. Mine, Nonnie."
