Overflowing with tears here, Great stories...Thanks.
I have made and given away many quilts over the years and all have been appreciated. I think tho the most touching reaction/response I ever felt for a quilt I made, I received just last night.
Went over to oldest daughter's to have hot cocoa with all the grands before loading up to drive around looking at Christmas lights. I've made all my grands many quilts since birth...My oldest gd , Laci is 4 her best friend and cousin CiCi is 3 (they are more like sisters, fight, love all in the same minute...Just like their mothers used to ) They were playing waiting on the rest of us and Laci comes out and hands CiCi a quilt I made her when she was born, telling her cousin...This is my favorite comfy-cozy but I want you to have it. The tears that started, because it was her favorite and her heart was so generous she wanted her bff to have it. My oldest , Laci's mom came around the corner, heard the story, said ( a lil bit loud and very adamantly, I thought lol) Uh No Laci we are keeping that one, that's my favorite! You can give CiCi any other quilt in the house. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or fuss at my daughter.
