I too am a hand quilter, sometimes hand piecer and hand embroiderer. When I do hand projects I know who the recipient will be-- and I am weavinging in love, prayers, good thoughts, dreams and hopes in each stitch. I believe there will always be people like us who keep the art alive and recipients who recognize the gift of love we have bestowed. On the other hand I will never give a quilt like this to someone I don't believe will treasure it!
