100th Birthday quilt received...almost killed him...

My second cousin, who will be 100 years old in July, received the quilt I made him today. He called and, yelled (he's hard of hearing....like really, he can't hear at all...lol!) his excitement at receiving it. He's super sentimental and we have a bond so it goes without saying how happy he was. I spoke with his wife and she said my gift nearly killed him. Lol! Apparently, he's already called my local family and bragged....invited people over to see it. If I know him. He'll drag it to church on Sunday. She shared that he told her he wants to be buried in it when he dies at the age of 110. Lol....such a charactor...just love this man....

Isn't it wonderful when someone really appreciates the quilt you made for them?!?

Sounds like a very, very happy cousin. Did you take a picture of it before you sent it off? I'd love to see it. Aren't you glad you made it for him?

What a wonderful reaction for his new quilt! He sounds like a very happy man. What a great sense of humor. Let's hope that the quilt will be very well-worn before he needs to be buried with it. LOL!!
