When my great-grandmother was home bound and we lived with her, my mom bought her some yarn and told her she wanted her to make an afghan for her. She could not see very well by then but she would spend hours crocheting and talking. It brought her a lot of joy. My mom then spent some time each night re-doing some of the rows where she had dropped stitches during the day. We kept her busy making them for other people after that.

I think you have become a "sewing angel, or rather a quilting angel. Blessings to you. I am sure you "receive" a lot from these people who join you.

Some of you noticed that I am new to the Board. I just discovered all of you about 2 weeks ago and thought my story might inspire others to do something similar--finding the positive in what can be a very sad time.

Your responses make me feel so welcomed and warm--much like I feel when wrapped in one of my mother's guilts. Thank you.
