Several years ago my SiL got the idea for us to make a quilt for my MiL.  It took us two years before it was completed.   She would do the actual piecing and quilt; I would do the crossstitching of angels.  She handstitched a heart around each angel.             Each thought the other had the harder portion.  LOL. My MiL had been a quilter for decades; my SiL was quite new at it.  I thought she did a great job!   My MiL was quite emotional when she saw what her present was.     The quilt was now in a box in the garage of my FiL's house protecting some serving platters.  A few weeks ago a connection to a hose to the clothes washer split and caused a minor flood in the garage.  I was certain that the box had been out of danger but decided to check it.  It was dry, but upon checking the quilt I noticed that it must have gotten some water damage as the colors had run. ...
