you've chosen the perfect way to make sure your Grandmother's legacy passes on to many generations to come. You've done her great justice, too, by adding your own wonderful workmanship. :P :P :P

Your post & pictures are deeply moving.

The best tribute you could offer is the continuing the legacy that a wise & gifted lady has given you. You are surely on the right track.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

A fellow Texan, Riley

What a very moving story! I'm so pleased that the embroideries were used by someone who appreciated the beauty and the work that went into them!
