Teresa, Bless you and your mom! Hang in there. I'm glad you have the solace of quilting. My mom passed away 2 years ago, the day after Valentine's Day. It's a difficult thing to let go of moms but I know that she is happy that you are nearby. Your quilting is truly beautiful and your mom's blessings will follow whoever is the recipient of your pieces.

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

So sorry about your mom, I lost my Mother last year. I was making her a wheelchair lap quilt in her last days. So now I think of her everytime I see that lap quilt. I got it finished and I hold it close to my heart very often. She knew I was making it for her and she was very please to have it even for the short 2days.
