Several times a week I get a thank you note for one of the Linus quilts I have made. Usually it is from a hospital etc. I do have some that were obviously written by children in crayon or big croocked letters with a pen or pencil. Sometimes it is from a parent. They mean much more to me than any Blue ribbon. Quilts are meant to be loved not worshiped.
