Welcome from Ontario, Canada. So sorry for your lose. It will be hard to finish her work but it will be a comfort to her girls to have something from their mother and you.

Welcome from Central California. Be patient with yourself; you will quilt when the time is right. It is very hard to loose a child and healing comes slow.

Welcome to the board. So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing a child. So, for now hang out with us here while you begin to heal and the mood will come to return to quilting. I hope your grandkids will someday pick up her pieces and begin their own legacy. How about showing us some things you or she quilted?

Welcome from South Louisiana. I haven't lost a child, but I lost both my sisters. Once there was 3 and now there's just me. My heart goes out to you. If you start on some of her sewing, you might feel like she is standing there with you. I know that when you can start on it, she will be happy.
