I made my MIL and FIL a quilt for their 50th wedding anniversary.When next we visited them she took me to her bedroom so that I could see how it looked on their bed. When they received it she said,"What a lovely gift!" She knew the work in it cause she made silk crazy quilts. Then I made one for a co-worker who took university classes while working. When she graduated after 7 years I gave her the quilt. It was really funny cause I quilted it at work and she had seen it many times and made comments about it. At her grad party I presented her with this big box and she got this puzzled look on her face. I said when you see what it is you are going to laugh. When she opened the end of the box she knew what it was because of the colors. She yanked it out of the box and as soon as everyone was done looking she took it and put it on her bed. That was the first and second quilts I gave as gifts. My husbands grandmother didn't like me very much but she loved quilts. I made her two pillows with quilted tops that she used till the day she died. When I gave them to her she just said they were very nice.
