My grandniece,
Anora,
just turned two.
Now, she needs a big girl quilt!

My mother passed away in 1982
at the young age of 51.
My daughter was the only grandchild
she ever had the pleasure to meet.
Like all grandmothers,
she delighted in having a little one underfoot.
When my sweet girl was about the same age as Anora,
Mom used to play
"Reach for the Stars" with her.
They'd raise their arms up as high as they would go,
then laugh and laugh and laugh.
This one's for you, Mom.
It's Fabulous,Karen! I love it.
