I like this thread too in the same way that we wrote about what got us started quilting. I would have had difficulty selecting a special quilt, but here's the one that made me so happy. Years earlier I made a very simple and plain crib quilt for a dear friend and colleague for her new baby girl. We were transferred as were they, but we kept in touch at Christmas. The years passed and my friend always sent me photos of this little girl. In one of their Christmas letters she wrote that her daughter asks her every night: "Tell me about the lady who made my little quilt." And every night for years, she did just that. That young girl is now twenty-one years old, and this child's love for a simple little quilt is my inspiration. :lol:
