Yes, it warms my heart. It makes me happy to know that all three grandkids sleep with their quilts.

This brought tears to my eyes because as an adult one of my most cherished items is a quilt that my grandmother made :-)

It is BRIGHT PINK (totally not my style since I am anything BUT a girly girl) and it is HUGE! I will take pictures of it tonight and try to post them :-)

That is all the thanks I could ever ask for. :XD:
That's why we make the quilts. I sent one to a nephew and niece. The nephew wrapped up in his and wore it the table. Haven't heard about the niece yet.

To me, it really is what quilting is all about. Creating such memories that they'll have forever - Grandma made me a quilt... And I think they know how we magically stuff them with so much love!
