The first quilt that I made for the neighbor couple, for more than 50 years, of my husband's family was a small Christmas table topper. The hand written thank you note said that it was being used under the Christmas arrangement that was taking the place of their big Christmas tree. Several years later I made quilts for their chairs that were large enough to really keep them warm in the winter. Again the hand written note expressed thanks from the heart. His went with him to the nursing home and stayed on his bed for the rest of his days.
