What an amazing lady and such a blessed life! It is an honor to call her my grandmother. Her quilting was impeccable; I will cherish each and every quilt she made. I especially love our wedding quilt. She even did amazing crocheting. She even crocheted Cabbage Patch clothes that my own grandchildren play with today. What a legacy!
