It's not as if. The love and energy she put in the quilt will always be in it with you

Such a beautiful tribute to your dear grand mother Line and to have the quilt so lovingly stitched by her own dear hands with such precious memories - wow that is so special. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, with kindest thoughts Ann xx

There is nothing like a beautiful quilt made by loving hands that are no longer here physically but here in all ways in the hug of that tender quilt they spent maybe a year making. Sweet write, Line.
