It's the best gift you ever could have recieved. My Grandmother made a crazy quilt with tons of hand embroidery and she told every one that I was to have it because I am the GD that sews and would appreciate all the work she put into it. When she passed away, the quilt disssapeared. My Grandfather was so afraid he had accidentally thrown it out. He apologized to me everytime he saw me for 2 years. He felt so bad. Then my cousin fessed up. She had taken the quilt without telling anyone because she wanted it. Then she cut off all contact with my family. About 10 years later, my mom recieved a box in the mail. Grandma's quilt was in it. My cousin's conscience had bothered her enough that she sent it to my mom and asked that mom get it to "who ever was suppose to have it." I was close to my grandma too and I cried like a baby to see the quilt again. I treasure it.
