That was such a kind and thoughtful thing for you to do, and really makes what we are doing more meaningful. So heartwarming! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I got tears too. So inspiring. My MIL is 86yrs old. This last summer I got her giant stash and I'm making all her children (6) and grandchildren (23, ages 35 to infant) "quilts from grandma". I'm so nervous, it's difficult to get started. I hope I can do as well as you've done.

The sentiments are not always verbally expressed, but it is so nice to know that your work is appreciated!
