I have made quilts (many of them) for my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; and everytime we visit with any of them and I see their quilts in a special place in their own homes, my heart is filled to overflowing with pride and joy. My most recent moment of this caliber was this past 4th of July holiday at our home. I had all the kids and grandkids here for the whole week; kids in every bed, all over the living room floor, and sofas--and right there in the middle of all the quilts and covers was one that I made my great granddaughter years ago, special request with the weirdest colors (in my mind anyway); being watched carefully that no one else snagged it.....I love it and when I was talking with her about her quilt the next day, she wants me to make her another one, and drew out the design she wants and went out to my sewing room and picked out her colors. So another quilt to work on for December (her birthday).
I know just how all of you felt at those expressions of appreciation.....
