She said I am going home tomorrow we will talk this weekend I would like to join you in some of the swaps. Well, she never did get to go home we lost her about a week later.
I was working on some of the week 2 blocks early (2am) into the morning on Jan 12. I was thinking to myself how my MIL would have really loved to do this and go on the computer and show them off to everyone. As I was thinking it felt like someone had their arm over my shoulder as if to say "whatcha workin on?". I stopped what I was doing and said hello Ma and then it was gone. I said okay I need to rename this quilt. At 6:30 am her Great Grandson was born. I know kinda corny but wanted to share my little story with my friends.
The new name is ----------- "Dear Jane a Message From Myrtle"
yup her name was Myrtle :wink:

Cher

i lost my MIL many years back now but i still think of her every day and all the charity work i do is in her honor.
