I have to agree with sgarner; except I would wait longer than a month. Give her time to morn. There are 3 stages in loosing aloved on. Sorrow, anger and acceptance. People react differently and it takes longer for some. Watch for the stages. Then ask what her favoriate memories were of her mother. I would not make anything out of her clothes. I would take the information from her memories and then incorporate them into a quilt. Use 1 or two memories. Most important, comfort her by letting her know you are there, even if you are miles away.

There have been some excellent suggestions here and I concur with the comfort quilt/throw. I have found a URL to an excellent site that deals directly with grief, originally written for those terminally ill people then later extended to all loss. It is well work reading. God bless you for the love in your heart. He will guide you in whatever you decide to do. Sometimes just sitting and being a silent comfort is enough.
