    Ladygen: So sorry for your loss. Your story is very touching and your mom's quilts are beautiful. I can picture your mom making them and putting so much love into them for her children. It is wonderful that you have taken an interest in something she obviously loved doing. Kudos to your aunt for finishing these quilts for you and your brother.

    They are beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss though. It is nice to have something to cuddle with from her - how comforting!

    These are beautiful. I understand. I lost a very dear friend just over a year ago. During a stay with her to care for her, she asked me if I would finish the quilts she had started for her 2 grandchildren. It took me 6 months to bring myself to do it and when I sent them off I cried. I have since made a quilt in her memory. That's about all I can write right now. Thanks for sharing.

    Those quilts are absolutely gorgeous. I can't imagine how long it took to do the one on the top. Thank you for sharing and for sharing your story. My mom has been gone now 16 years and I still have the quilt I made with all of her old clothes, I just made patchwork out of them but it sits on top of my childhood hopechest for my daughter someday. I know she will appreciate it so much, she was l6 when her nana died.
