Eventually she could only fold them and touch them. She loved touching the fabrics and seeing the colors. Even today, the joy of colors and textures and patterns are mingled with the memories of my Mom. You will always be glad you made that trip to see your Grandpa.CathyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038679754303319678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239387954287580084.post-17575184922764906072012-05-19T09:41:58.512-04:002012-05-19T09:41:58.512-04:00This is a lovely quilt and I am so glad you were a...This is a lovely quilt and I am so glad you were able to give it to him in person.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285223648285145607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239387954287580084.post-44098591803595972702012-05-19T01:37:01.855-04:002012-05-19T01:37:01.855-04:00This quilt and it's story have touched my hear...This quilt and it's story have touched my heart.
