My Great Grandmother After reading the book The Keeping Quilt , it brings to mind my great
grandmother giving me something from the heart. She had made across for me that was white and light green in color. She makes a lot of
things, but this was something special. There are many more fantasticthings that she gave me, but I think this is more special than the others.I feel this way because it means so much to her.
I love my grandmother very much. She gives her love to me and thegifts she gives to me are made from the heart.
