In the past few years there have been lots of new babies born in my extended family and I've made each of them a little quilt, nothing too big or special pattern and quilting was stitch in the ditch. Today was the Christening of another new baby, grandneice Elizabeth Anne. Her mom was thrilled that I made Elizabeth Anne a quilt as she said the one I made for her first child, Claire Louise has been admired by everyone. Really made me feel good that she appreciated the work I put into the quilts. Another neice was at the reception with her 3 year old and 9 month old sons and both of their quitls were in the strolled this neice had with her. Just wanted to share this with the message board as so many times we feel that our quilts and effort aren't appreciated.

Seeing them being used and loved means more than a thank you note to me!

Congratulations, what an wonderful feeling. I sent DD #2 her quilt this week and for the first time in years she said "I Love You'! It was so awesome to hear those words. Appreciation goes a long way!

so nice to hear THIS side of the story...normally it is how the quilt is ignored and the maker feels slighted and sad!

Good for you!
Thanks for sharing this!
