J's Mamaw is so sweet!!!!!

Okay, 1st off let me tell you she is turning 90 yrs old next month. She still gets around and drives and everything. You would never guess she is as old is she is, because she does everything herself. The other day when I was leaving for work, she was writing out bills and mailing b-day cards for everyone in the family for that week. So crazy!?! And, J said when he got off work she was in her garden, digging with the hoe and planting flowers! She is Awesome!

She loves to quilt, and we we're looking at some quilts that she is making and she tells me that she is going to make me a 2 baby quilts(She makes one for every baby shower). I didn't really know what to say at first, since I'm not even pg and thats normally when she starts making them, (when she hears someone is pg.) So, I just listened as she went on to say 1 for a boy & 1 for a girl. Still not knowing where she is going with this, I said, well that's good, I've always wanted twins, a boy & a girl! Then, she says it, she wants to make & give these to me so if something happens to her I will have baby quilts from her. Awe, I teared up and started to cry but managed to hold myself together in front of her. I just thought that was so nice & sweet of her. I told J about it when he woke up, and he even looked like he could cry.

She is so sweet and I just wanted to share this story with you ladies. Now, I want to get pg even more so so she can be around to see mine & J's kiddo's. We love her so much!

  3. Very sweet! My DH's gma makes quilts as well. They're just beautiful and I know that no one will ever have one like it. It's nice to have something made just for you.

    90 & still going strong, I'm impressed! I hope she's able to personally give those quilts to your children.
