I have two quilts my step-mother made for me and my three kids each have one, all hand quilted and are from about thirty years ago, the one she gave me is the wedding ring and that one is about 40 years old and the other one she gve me is a rose quilt both very pretty, the one she made my daughter has the victorian women on it and all hand quilted, i still have hers here at my house, i'm always afraid she will sell it. When my son had his first son almost 2 years ago, i wrote a letter to him and put it in the quilt and wrapped it up, he had forgotten i still had it. It brought tears to everyone.
