I just love hearing everyone's stories. It surely warms the heart.
I made a quilt for my sister's birthday to commemorate our trip to Yellowstone. It had embroidered animals (a moose, bear etc) and the center was 4 bear's claws blocks. It was lap size. When she got it, she was thrilled and said she felt honored to get it, and later brought it to work to show one of her co-workers that quilts. Made me feel great!
