I never thought of a mourning quilt. I will do something after the burial.

Last weekend I went in her closed and took some of her clothing to make something with - but most of the fabrics were flashy shinny not really quilt fabrics, I will have to dig some more tomorrow night.

Silk Dupeoni Uneven Log Cabin-blocks pieced, Leftovers from other projects called My Color Palette and
I was asked to make a door prize for the Penn Oaks Quilt Guild.
I am back on schedule.

Teresa, We lost my husband's father (it was unexpected and we were in the far north of the Yukon), and with the help of the Canadian Mounties we got to Arizona the night before his funeral and were there for his mother. Sadly his mother, who was busy planning how to cope with her new life didn't make his funeral, she had a stroke early that morning. She died a few days later. I think that sometimes people who have been married for so many years truly lose half of themselves when their spouse dies. This may be the case with your mother. It is a double whammy and you need to be gentle with yourself for a few weeks. Things start shifting into their place after a while. It is part of the fabric of life. Your love and sadness is also a part of that fabric. Your quilts are objects of love. Thank you for sharing them and your sorrow. Sierra

I just reread that note. Be gentle with yourself as long as it takes. You'll never forget them, you'll always love them. I realized I was crying when I sent the previous e.mail and realized that I still hold memories to a huge extent. It's been 25 years since my mother died; 15 years since my father did. But my tears are sweeter than they were before. again, Sierra
