She was a wonderful quilter. It was a marvelous way to celebrate her life and work in the church. I think the quilts are tastefully displayed. You all will miss her. Thank you for your generous sharing.

What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your MIL. You and your family will always feel her love and hugs as you wrap yourselves in those beautiful quilts.

susanlh 07-22-2011 12:22 PM

Iam so sorry for your loss, but I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. This is because 6 years ago we did the same thing at my mother's memorial service. The room was filled with quilts she had made, especially the ones she made for her 8 children. We each sat with the quilt on the back of our chairs to honor her. May you always be wrapped in warmth of the quilts knowing that each stitch was placed with love.
