            Yep, alive and quilting at 80 would be good. What a fabulous quilt. Thanks for showing us Nonnie.

              I intend to be quilting for another 60+ years. I need to, in order to use at least part of my fabric stash.

                      Sew Smart Fabrics shared a photo.
                      For all of you who have inquired about this amazing quilt:

                      Kristy Rowe says: "This is my grandma an she's amazing. I have one of her crazy quilts made with ties and another incredible piece she called my butterfly garden. She's an amazing lady. Retired 2nd grade teacher , loves the Phillies, still camps out on the floor of her screened in porch most every night of the year and is married 60+ years to a wonderful volunteer firefighter named George who is very proud and doting."
