Gerber, one of your stories reminds me of one of my co-workers. Three of us went to Curves 3 days a week and worked together. Anne was diagnosed with breast cancer (she is now fine), I made her a scrappy log cabin, with lots of pink(for breast cancer) and flowered fabrics, she loves to garden. Gail supplied the $$ for the backing, a very nice pink heavy flannel. Gail said no to flannel, but I knew Anne like me was always cold. We took Anne to lunch and at the table gave her a gift bag with the quilt. She cried as I thought she would.
