I am currently making a quilt for a surprise for my sister, do any of you guys and gals have trouble parting with them? I know I do but I remind myself I would never give one of my quilts just to anyone. One of my first quilts I made for my Mom, well, she wasn't someone I should have given one to, as she wasn't happy with the colors design, etc. My sister came to my rescue, as I was truly hurt, she asked mom do you realize the time and the effort that goes into making a quilt? Mom didn't know what to say to this. Wow that felt good to get that off my chest!!! I hope to send some pictures of my quilts as son as I figure out how :lol:
I made one for my mother - a quilter - for Mother's Day last year. She is 93. She cried. Of us three daughters I was the only one that made a quilt for her and she was quite touched. Even at her being 93 and my being 71, it feels good when Mom is happy, eh? Ain't Mama happy, ain't nobody happy!!!!!!
