After reading all the posts here I realize I am very lucky... Last Christmas I gave every one of my siblings a king size quilt... I made 4 quilts and it took me two years... I shipped them to my sister and they all opened them on Christmas at the family gathering...
They all called after opening to thank me and wish me Merry Christmas... When I went up to Indiana last spring they were proud to show me how nice they looked on their beds.. The quilts are being used and treated with love.... That makes me a very lucky person... Each one of them know what goes into them because they watched my Grandmother quilt for years..
