She was a beautiful, loving grandmother who shared her love with all of us in many ways--making quilts for each of us, doilies and afghans too. We each got a wonderful assortment of homemade cookies every Christmas for years before she went into the nursing home. My good dishes were given to me by Grandma, piece by piece, for each birthday and Christmas as I was growing up. Nothing made her more happy than to have her family around her.
I know Grandma is in a better place now...a place where her hands can keep busy sewing and knitting and crocheting, making quilts and blankets to share her love with everyone she meets.
Later this week, I will gather up the quilts that Grandma made for me and take some pictures, and do a blogland quilt show for all of you to see her handiwork.
I just found your blog via some blog hopping..you do very nice work.
