This story is so touching, especially to me. I cared for my mother until the end. You are a very precious friend to have. What a wonderful gift you (and that quilt) are within their lives! Thank you for sharing. <3

My close friend, L, is caretaker for her own mother, who had to be moved to a nursing home. L gave me her mom's small stash of sewing supplies and fabric. I happened to use a few pieces of one of the fabrics in a quilt I made for L's daughter as a graduation gift (the daughter is my god-daughter). L found, almost immediately, the fabric from her mom's stash, even tho it was just a few small pieces. It made the quilt that much more special for both of them ... and I hadn't even considered that they would notice.
