Much as I adore knowing how much my loved ones and friends cherish their quilts one thing I would love to follow even more would be the stories of the 'give aways'. When we lived in CA I made quilts for service members in Afghanistan using photos of their children from home. I remember so many of their stories and so hope that their owners all got to come home and live full lives. One was a young lady chaplain who had to deploy and leave her you baby behind for her tour. Can you imagine the tears at night when she curled up under the photo quilt? And when she came home and 'retired' it to drag it out maybe 10 years later and see those color bare photos? Would love to have a little computer mole on a few of those so I knew where they wound up .............
