A note that every quilter wants to read, at least once
Some of you know that my mother in law was the person who started me on my quilting journey. She is no longer with me, but I have made it a mission to finish up her many WIP's. I finished up something recently that she wanted to give to her oldest grandson (he is in college). I saw him and his mother at Thanksgiving, and gave a quilt to him, from his grand-ma. She passed 3 years ago. Two of his younger cousins have also gotten quilts from their grandmother since then.
Here is the nice note I just got from my sister in law:
"Jennie,
Your gesture of the quilts are the most loving and thoughtful thing, so thank you for that Jenn. Mom would be thrilled. Every time I think about you doing it, it brings tears to my eyes. The latest is absolutely gorgeous. Ross loves it, I love it! You are a kind woman, I am lucky to have you for a sister-in-law.
Sandra"
Note, I don't have a picture of the quilt. It was simple, yet masculine, done in tan, burgundy, and hunter green. It wouldn't win any beauty contests, so the love is what matters here.
But I hope that at some point, you all feel this sense of appreciation from a non quilter.
