It's a skill I always wished I had both the talent and patience for, but I don't.<br /><br />And no it can definitely never be replaced. Just seeing my name stitched into it makes me happy. Especially as her health continues to fail. Although if there's one thing I know about Mamaw it's that she's tough as hell!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03869222350982897988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567611591370317545.post-58754773983937404082009-12-15T20:47:42.334-05:002009-12-15T20:47:42.334-05:00Yes, a familiar and handmade quilt!

I have a load of them, now.Evil Twin's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947080160500549248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567611591370317545.post-54993573993853773522009-12-15T19:45:55.505-05:002009-12-15T19:45:55.505-05:00I know what you mean about real gifts.
