She was so excited to actually be on the card and since the photo of her quilt was the background, she knew I made the card on my computer. She was so thrilled and excited to have her quilt and said she is sleeping with it tonight. On the back of the card, I included Patty's Quilt Philosophy and washing instructions. Use and enjoy the quilt as each stitch is full of love and enjoy. I also told her mom if anything should happen to the quilt and I'd mend it for them but they'd have to let me know so that I could bring supplies to mend it when we visit IL. I also made her paper card into an email card to send to her via email. I have a feeling this quilt will get a lot of use. Thank you everyone for all of the interest you've shown in this project.

that is such a heart warming story. thank you so much for sharing. Penny
thank you Penny. After they left my husband said he thought Kim would adopt us if she could. Actually, I think she has. She gets frustrated that she doesn't get to see enough of us which is neat.
