Oh Teresa, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I lost mine almost 2 years ago and my Dad just two years before that. I actually quit quilting for almost a year...just didn't have the passion for much of anything. I applaud you for continuing to sew. It really is healing, isn't it? I resumed last year and am so glad I did. I'm down in Lancaster...any chance you'll be coming to the quilt show at the new convention center next month? I've signed up for the Ricky Tims concert, one class and a couple of the lectures. Should be a fun time! If you'd like someone to walk through the show with, just send me a note!
