When my elderly mother-in-law was in her last years, she stayed with her daughters and they kept buying her stamped needlework for her to embroider to keep her hand/mind busy. When she passed away we all got to pick out some of the projects that we wanted. I had young children at the time but I picked out a square quilt top that she embroidered and it had a little angel on it and she used brown thread for the little angel, instead of the "flesh" color, maybe she ran out. Anyway, we all laughed about the little "brown" angel quilt. Fast forward to a few years ago, when my oldest daughter was pregnant and our church was giving her a baby shower. This is a church that my mother'in-law's family had founded over 100 years ago and most of the older ladies that knew her were at the shower. I had hand quilted the top - following the printed stamping for the quilting lines, but adding lots of hearts. I put a blue backing on it as she was having a boy. When she opened it up at the shower and read my note about the quilt, almost every lady at the shower was crying - even my daughter who NEVER cries, not even at a funeral.
