Thank you for the affirmations. It was quite nice to have this comment from him (he is a very quiet guy).

Yes it does. My grandsons almost 16 and 18 both have quilts I mad for them 3 or 4 years ago and they both sleep with them every night. The younger one has appliqued sail boats on it and the older on has a Dale Earnheart quilt with black sashing with red cornerstones and checkered flag border. I am very happy that they enjoy their quilt. Another grandson who is just turned 14 has a quilt with turtles and fish. He has an aquarium in his room. For the youngest I made a tumbling block quilt when he was born but for his 5th birthday I made him an appliqued "Hungry little Caterpillar" snuggle quilt and gave him the book as well. My daughter said he loves to snuggle up with a book so it was perfect for him.

My sons all received quilts from their grandmother and her quilt group when they were little. I'm glad I didn't make them then. To start with, I didn't get the quilting bug until my second son was born. Also, my wonderful MIL passed away suddenly when they were 3,5 and 6. They all still have her quilts and we love them. I finally made the boys their first bed size quilts last new year's. They boys love them and some of the quilts from their grandmother we've put up for safe keeping.

My sons are starting to show an interest in quilting. One of my sons has begged me to make little quilts for his 2 teachers who both are having babies this school year. He says everyone buys babies blankets, but you don't know real love until you lay on a quilt.

I was at a loss for words.

My son (37) wants me to lengthen the quilt I gave him for his birthday. He loves the quilt, for which I am very grateful--and pleased that he appreciates the work that went into the finished product.

Yes, I think it gives me a real high, and it lasts for a good while. Saw my nephew over the Christmas break, last year I made him a Tennessee Waltz quilt and the large spots that were the snowball patches, were all quilted with the head of a dragon, he told me again how much he loves his quilt. Then later that day his mother told me of the near tragedy his quilt had. They have an old cat that is sickly, well she got sick on his quilt, and he got really upset about it. Something about heads will roll, needless to say the quilt came through with flying colors; I always include a thing of Grandmas spot remover with the quilts. So everything is fine. But it still made me feel good when he told me how much he "Loved" his quilt.

Absolutely! The feelings are almost as warm as the quilts themselves.
