What a great tribute to you. It is always a blessing to know that someone enjoys our work.

How wonderful! We included the last quilt that mom had finished when we had her funeral and then 5 months later used the same quilt on the memorial table at daddy's funeral.

I'm glad you know that this is worth more than a blue ribbon.

How wonderful! My sister called me not too long ago and asked me if I had a quilt made with green, fushia, and blues in it. Well, I did. She and her daughter wanted to use it as decoration at her Country wedding. I plan to gift it to her as a wedding present so she can cherish the memories forever. (wonder if she planned it that way? hehehehe)

That gesture was better than any blue ribbon!

I don't think you could have been paid a higher compliment!

Much better than a blue ribbon.

I have to admit I was thrilled to know she loved it that much that the family knew they had to include it. Nope, it's not a blue ribbon at a big quilt show, but I think it meant as much to me.

A great tribute to her .........and to you
