In 2009, I finished Grandma and Me and gifted it to my parents. My mother brought it out for the wake and funeral and asked me to type up a dedication printout to show along side the quilt.

In memory...
Last week, my mother called to let me know that Grandma had passed away. For those of you who have been followers since my blog beginning, you've already heard me talk about Grandma from time to time. She was my last living Grandma and was the one who moved out of her apartment and into a nursing home in 2007; at which time I was gifted all of her quilting supplies and fabric. This was also the time when my quilting moved into a state of obsession, much to do with all the fabric inheritance.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice legacy your grandmother left you. My grandma was a hand piecer/quilter but she died long before I learned to love quilting and my machine. But I know she watches every stitch I make and loves what I do. Your grandmother must have been very proud of you, too.
