So, I've read all these stories, and enjoyed everyone of the. What a hoot! I don't know if I am insulted or not, but no one has asked me to make a quilt for them. Except my married daughters, kind of hinted, and I have made them for them. The only question I get from people is "How long did it take you to make that (I hand quilt). I tell them each quilt takes a year to 18 mo, not steady, but start to finish (I mostly only make king size/queen size or double bed quilts.) The go "oh, wow", but nobody asks me to make one for them. Great thread. Keep the stories coming. I need a good laugh.
