If everyone knew the time and love put in to making a quilt I think they would appreciate them more. although some people just don't see it. If it's not a Iphone,xbox, or hd Tv they don't see it. I gave homemade gifts to my brothers and thier wifes small gifts but times have been hard on my family this year as my brothers all own their own tile business and housing is just not going here in Texas so I thought just something would help make them know that we still have each other. Two of my sil's love their gift and thanked me and worn their reading shawls all evening the other ask what is it? When I told her she put it in her bag and never said a word. But I still felt good about it and thought to my self it's a true gift if given from the heart and not for the praise. The quilts you all gave are filled with love and believe me their is one who knows that.
