I made my dd a turning twenty quilt for her 28th BD. It was the first quilt she had seen that I had machine quilted. She received it yesterday. She called and left a message. "Mom, I got my package. I love everything. But, I really, really love my quilt. My friends were over and they were oohing and ahhing. I really love it. Call me back." Ok, I admit it, I am already teary eyed. I call and the first thing she says is how awesome the quilt is. She tells me her friends all want to buy one(not happening). She says that she got out the other two quilts that she has. (8th and 16th Birthdays) She is so excited I am now crying. Mainly because she loved it so much and because she is just too far away. (NYC) Then she totally cracks me up. "You know Mom, you have really gotten better".
After 20 years, I would hope so.

Awwwww....that is the best thank you we could ever hope for!!!
How awesome she still has the other two quilts, also!!!
Your story really touched my heart :D :D :D

A call like that makes it worth it. I'm so happy for both of you.

What a precious story! Tears in my eyes here!

That is wonderful. It makes all the work worthwhile if they really love it.

Awww, how sweet!!!

AAAAAwwwwwwwwhhhhhh, what a great DD you have to appreciate your work. :) :)

Waaaay! Wonderful daughter that she has the other quilts, and can see how far you have come! WONDERFUL! Congrats, Mom! :lol:

Isn't it amazing how wonderful we feel when someone else loves our quilts . And I think it is great that she still has the other quilts and keeps them close to her , in NYC and not stored somewhere else ( usualy moms house LOL )

That really makes you feel proud when someone really likes what you make.

That's so special!!! It does make you feel great to have someone gush over your work!!!

Awww....isn't it great!
What a wonderful daughter you have!

Had an email from my DD this morning.

Tha smile on her face says it all!!! How special! Her quilt is beautiful I can see why all her friends wanted it. Love the colors.

It makes you feel so much better when you know they are going to treasure the gift because you made it! Man, now I need a tissue too!

Looks like you scored a bullseye! What a great feeling to know that she really loves it!

I hope my daughter reacts the same when when I give her a quilt when she is older! You have a wonderful daughter.

I think she likes it very much. Good work, mom! :D :D

I can just see, by the smile on her face,
that she LOVES the quilt her Mom made
for her. Isn't just wonderful? What a
warm fuzzy feeling!!
:D :D :D :D

I'm so glad you shared this with us. We always truly hope our quilts, that have been made with love and attention, will be appreciated. Hers will be totally loved and cherished. BTW, the quilt, and especially your daughter, are beautiful.

Beautiful quilt for a beautiful girl! Love the colors!!

Thanks everyone. I know I am prejudced but my daughter is a truly beautiful person. I knew even when she was young she would be giving her life to those in need. After surviving cancer in college, she decided to leave her small midwestern life and move to the big city to teach in the Bronx. "They needed her." I am truly proud of the person she is and what she gives to those around her.
I feel that with our quilts we give those we love hugs whenever they use them.

Brought tears to my eyes, too, remembering quilts my dd loves.

Beautiful quilt for a beautiful young lady....makes me wish I had a daughter (we have 5 sons between us)....Thanks for making a rainy day seem bright.

That is so sweet!! I am glad that she truly loves it.

Way to go mom. Her smile say's it all.

Beautiful quilt - beautiful daughter!

Great Job thanks for sharing lovely daughter,,,

What a Beautiful daughter you have and that quilt is awesome , I can see why she is so proud of it , made a tear come to my eyes to

Love the fabric, love to make that turning 20 pattern. Smart and beautiful DD. Praise and appreciation equals more quilts. The first time that my DGD (1 year old) realized that the quilt I spread on the floor was hers, she giggled and danced on it. I could not have received a greater wordless compliment.

just :cry: awesome! :D

That is so touching. It is great to know they will be loved and used, isn't it? Beautiful quilt and daughter. I love those colors.
