Not only is it a wonderful act that you are doing by finishing the quilts that she started but also couragous(sp?) as well.
I am trying to get started on memory quilts from some of my mothers clothing and I am having the hardest time getting up the courage to cut into them. I know that the quilts will be appreciated when done but it is so hard to do through the tears and all of the memories I have of my mother wearing the clothes. Please tell me that it will get easier to do. Is it too early for me to do this? She has only been gone 17 months now.

Hi Jennie,
You are such a wonderful and loving person, your spiceal freindship has meant the world to me, and your so very spiceal little gifts brighten my days, I am still working on your gift, I have been very slow this year. I only managed to get to quilts done this yr for Christmas, and I did so much sewing and un sewing the first one, that I just about gave up.
Thank you for sharing your kind letter with us, and thank you for being who you are, may GOD always bless you and hold you close.

Jennie, the note is so heart warming to receive. You already knew how much he loved the quilt, but getting that note must have felt great. I'm so glad you are finishing her projects.
