If you get tired of the red one keep me in mind! Love it. I think that if I had a choice I would go for an old crazy quilt with all the extra embroidery and different fabrics in it. This is on my bucket list when I get old. lol I am getting awful close now (69). I have only kept 3 quilts for myself. Two large wall hangings and a king size for my bed. I usually make average 50 per year, most of which go to people in need. All of my kids and their kids have now gotten one and I am working on round two.

Because I am the only sewer in my world outside of this board, or my local quilt guild, the idea that someone took the time to make me something with their own hands brings me happiness every time I look at them. Here they are so you can enjoy them too. One hangs in my dining room, and the other hangs in my family/sewing room. Thank you again ladies, you know who you are.
