When I read this I immediately thought of my Grandma. As long as I can remember she was never without her 'hookin' as my Dad called it. She was always working on what I now think of as magnificent projects. There are so many quilts, bedspreads, tablecloths, doillies, and afghans - I think we all have something that she made just for us. At least those of us that were here when she left us - 6 children and their spouses, 16 grandchildren - most were married, and I think there were about 32 great-grandchildren at that time.
But as I was saying, she was always working on something, and it was always for somebody else. The only photo I have on my computer of something she made is of this bedspread. She made for my room when I was young. It is still on the bed in my old room and I tried to take it home with me a couple years ago, but turns out that me and my mom have quite a dispute about who it actually belongs to haha!
My Grandma spent hundreds of hours creating gifts and thinking of others. And knowing her, I am sure she put many, many prayers into every project!
