I just wanted to add a heartfelt amen to this quote. My 14 year old son was adopted at the age of 4.5 from Vietnam. He was born with a set of four heart defects (Tetralogy of Fallot) and has had a total of five open heart surgeries to date. He TREASURES the quilts and afghan he has gotten each time he was in the hospital and was really disappointed when he didn't receive one last May when he had his aortic valve re-sected.
Don't think that a teen age boy will not appreciate the work and effort you put into a quilt, I know one young man who thinks the world of his.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my Mama's heart for the quilts and crocheted work you donate.
God Bless!
