Good for you. I am fortunate that my DH has realized all along that the quilts I make for foster kids are important because they help where help is really needed. He says that he understand how important it is to me and to the people who get them. Because I generally have quilts on hand, I was able to rush quilts to dying family members, making the final few days less dreadful. 2 times we have given friends with cancer quilts which they later said cured them. Doubtful, but one was still there clinging to her quilt and smiling over a year after her projected death date.

When my GKs became a part of a "blended" family, they decided to welcome the new brothers with their own TV quilts. they understood that a quilt is a portable hug. Their parents and grandparents were proud of them.
