It is said that in giving, we receive. I get so much joy from making quilts, and that joy is quadrupled when I see the comfort and happiness my quilts give to those who receive them. We were just visiting our daughter and son-in-law for a week at Thanksgiving. I loved seeing my almost 30-year old daughter wrap herself up in one of the quilts I have given her. And then she said "Mom, when I really miss you, I just wrap one of your quilts around me and I feel like you are here." Joy, joy, joy!!
