Mine is from my grandmother-in-law. A couple years ago I made a quilt for her for Christmas, and she was so touched she cried! She told me that she's always loved quilts but nobody in her entire life had ever made one just for her. So that made me cry too. I made her another, lightweight quilt for Christmas last year and she cried again! So I cried again!

Every time I see her she tells me how much she loves her quilts and how she can feel the love in them whenever she touches them and she always keeps both on the bed with her at all times. It's so sweet! She's getting pretty far up there in years and is unfortunately completely bedridden at this point, but she's still sharp as a tack and amazingly positive and upbeat. I made a comment once about how I admire how she's always so positive and she told me that when she starts to feel sad or lonely she hugs her quilts and thinks about how I made them just for her and that cheers her right back up. Pretty sure she was just being nice, but what a lovely thing to hear!
